Hawaii Native Species Conservation and Recovery Act of 2025
This bill establishes a federal grant program to fund conservation projects for native plants, fungi, and animals in Hawaii. Eligible entities - including the State of Hawaii, local governments, Native Hawaiian organizations, nonprofits, businesses, and schools - can apply for funding to address threats like invasive species, climate change impacts, and habitat loss. Federal funding covers up to 75% of project costs (or 100% for projects by Native Hawaiian organizations or focused on youth workforce development), with at least 5% of annual funds reserved for these priority projects. The program requires annual reporting to Congress on funded projects and their progress, ensuring transparency in how funds support Hawaii's native species recovery.
