Hawaii Native Species Conservation and Recovery Act of 2025
This bill establishes the Hawaii Native Species Conservation and Recovery Grant Program, providing federal funding to eligible entities like state/local governments, Native Hawaiian organizations, nonprofits, businesses, and universities. It directs grants toward projects preventing invasive species spread, addressing climate impacts on native habitats, restoring species populations, and increasing public engagement in conservation. The program requires 75% federal funding (with 100% possible for specific projects) and mandates that at least 5% of annual funds support projects led by Native Hawaiian organizations or focused on youth workforce development. The bill authorizes $30 million annually for 10 years, with funds supplementing (not replacing) existing conservation efforts in Hawaii.
