Bill > S2705

This bill, the Tribal Wildlife Corridors Act of 2021, requires the Secretary of the Interior to establish Tribal Wildlife Corridors. It allows Indian Tribes to nominate corridors within their land boundaries as Tribal Wildlife Corridors, which the Secretary must then evaluate and approve based on criteria related to habitat restoration and land management to facilitate wildlife connectivity. The bill also requires the Bureau of Land Management to consult with Indian Tribes when revising land use plans to potentially expand or benefit the Tribal Wildlife Corridors. Additionally, the bill provides technical assistance and grant funding to Indian Tribes to support the establishment, management, and expansion of these wildlife corridors. Finally, the bill exempts certain sensitive information about the corridors from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
