The most recent grants, announced last week, will benefit 35 tribes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTribes are vital partners in wildlife conservation, and we\u2019re proud to support projects that reflect their connection to the land and leadership in protecting it,\u201d U.S FWS Service Director Brian Nesvik said in a statement. \u201cThese investments support tribal sovereignty while advancing our shared conservation goals.\u201d<br>Santa Ana Pueblo will use its funds to install wildlife recording devices along the Rio Grande to monitor two endangered birds: the Yellow-billed cuckoo and the Willow flycatcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zuni Pueblo was granted the funds for <a href=\"https:\/\/ictnews.org\/archive\/zuni-eagle-aviary-is-a-beautiful-sign\/\">Zuni Eagle Aviary<\/a>, which houses debilitated gold and bald eagles. The funding will assess the facility\u2019s wildfire risk, install safety systems and clear brush. Additionally, the funding will be used for expanding the aviary\u2019s work to include \u201crehabilitation and release program\u201d on site. Neither Santa Ana nor Zuni Pueblos responded to Source NM requests for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cochiti Pueblo will use its funds to track Bighorn sheep population, which the Pueblo and the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlife.dgf.nm.gov\/bighorn-sheep-captured-relocated-cochiti-canyon\/\">reintroduced<\/a> in 2014 to the Cochiti canyon and the Jemez mountains after a century-long absence of herds in that area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifically, Cochiti Pueblo will monitor the Bighorn sheep for the <a href=\"https:\/\/sourcenm.com\/briefs\/nm-hunters-asked-to-look-out-for-new-world-screwworm-after-recent-detections-in-mexico\/\">parasitic New World screwworm moving through Mexico<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pueblo will also restore the habitat devastated by the 2022 Cerro Pelado wildfires, which, in combination with drought, threatens the herd\u2019s ability to move and much of their food, according to Earl Conway, the director of the Natural Resources and Conservation program at Cochiti Pueblo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese stressors combined have made it difficult for bighorn sheep to move safely across the landscape, maintain herd health, and sustain stable population levels,\u201d Conway said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The funding will help with targeted habitat restoration, replanting of fire-resistant vegetation and tracing the herd\u2019s movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCombined with wildfire prevention measures, these activities will reduce the risk of future habitat loss and ensure a more resilient and sustainable environment for Bighorn sheep herds,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This story was originally published at <a href=\"https:\/\/sourcenm.com\/\">Source New Mexico<\/a>, a NMPBS partner.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Danielle Prokop, Source New Mexico This story was originally published at Source New Mexico, a NMPBS partner.
