Wildlife Corridors and Habitat Connectivity Conservation Act of 2024

The Wildlife Corridors and Habitat Connectivity Conservation Act of 2024 establishes a federal program to map and conserve wildlife corridors that connect habitats across the United States. The bill creates a process for designating "American wildlife corridors" on federal lands, requires agencies to develop maps and science supporting habitat connectivity, and establishes a grant program providing $75 million annually to fund habitat connectivity projects on private lands. It includes specific provisions for Tribal wildlife corridors, requiring consultation with Tribes and providing technical assistance to support Tribal conservation efforts. The bill mandates coordination between federal, state, tribal, and local governments to improve wildlife movement and habitat connectivity, with specific funding authorized for different agencies including Interior, Transportation, Agriculture, Commerce, and Defense.
