Wildlife Action Plan

What is a Wildlife Action Plan? It is a plan that identifies and focuses mainly on rare and/or declining species, but promotes conservation of all species and their key habitats. Every state and territory has developed its own Wildlife Action Plan and collectively they represent a proactive, nationwide effort to prevent wildlife from becoming endangered.

Species of Conservation Priority

North Dakota's Wildlife Action Plan identifies 100 Species of Conservation Priority, or those in greatest need of conservation in the state. Learn more about these species here.

State Wildlife Grants

The State Wildlife Grants Program provides funding for implementing the conservation actions identified in the Wildlife Action Plan and conserving at-risk species.
