 The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is partnering through its Wildlife Without Borders program with 24 conservation organizations in Mexico to conserve wildlife and its habitat. The Service provided $903,000 in 2011 for conservation projects and leveraged an additional $2 million in matching contributions. Funds support projects that build the capacity of Mexican decision makers, wildlife managers and local communities to conserve important wildlife populations and natural areas as well as efforts to protect sea turtle nesting in Mexico.
