Migratory Birds of the Americas Conservation Enhancements Act of 2023

HR 4389, the Migratory Birds of the Americas Conservation Enhancements Act of 2023, amends the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act to increase federal funding for conservation projects from 25% to 33.3% of eligible costs. It extends the authorization period for funding through 2028 and requires the Secretary to submit a report to Congress on collaboration efforts with partners. This bill directly affects conservation organizations, state governments, and local groups that receive federal funds to protect migratory birds traveling between the U.S. and the Neotropics (Central and South America, Caribbean). The changes provide more stable financial support and accountability for existing bird conservation programs.
