Bill > HR4995

This bill, the Tribal Wildlife Corridors Act of 2021, requires the Secretary of the Interior to establish Tribal Wildlife Corridors on tribal lands. Indian Tribes can nominate corridors within their land boundaries to be designated as Tribal Wildlife Corridors, which the Secretary must approve if the corridors meet certain criteria related to habitat restoration and land management to facilitate wildlife connectivity. The bill also amends the Federal Land Policy and Management Act to require coordination of land use plans to potentially expand Tribal Wildlife Corridors onto public lands. Additionally, the bill provides technical assistance to tribes and authorizes $50 million annually for a Tribal Wildlife Corridors grant program. The bill also includes provisions to protect sensitive tribal information from public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
