- Improving habitat across Nebraska for our at-risk species while keeping common species common by funding projects such as prairie restorations and invasive species removal.
- Preventing future endangered species listings by funding reintroduction projects such as the now thriving peregrine falcon, by funding research to ensure efficient conservation such as a river otter population and genetic study and long-billed curlew habitat study.
Wildlife Conservation Fund
Donate to the Wildlife Conservation Fund and support Nebraska's at-risk and endangered species.
Since 1984, tax deductible donations to the Nebraska Wildlife Conservation Fund have helped the thousands of species that call Nebraska home. Funds raised are used for wildlife projects that help species that are considered non-game, or those that are not hunted or fished.
Donated dollars have big impact: Wildlife Conservation Fund dollars are matched with other grants, so that $1 donated becomes $4 for helping wildlife. The fund makes many types of projects possible, including:
- Education Projects such as Project BEAK (Bird Education Awareness for Kids) that targets grade school children about ecological principles such as habitat, Nebraska’s birds and adaptation.
- Connecting Wildlife and Nebraskans through projects like wildcams for the peregrine falcon, kestrel and least tern.
