2d Session HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Part 1
TRIBAL WILDLIFE CORRIDORS ACT OF 2019
OCTOBER 9, 2020.-Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State
of the Union and ordered to be printed
Mr. GRIJALVA, from the Committee on Natural Resources,
submitted the following
R E P O R T
together with
DISSENTING VIEWS
[To accompany H.R. 5179]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Natural Resources, to whom was referred the
bill (H.R. 5179) to require the Secretary of the Interior to establish
Tribal Wildlife Corridors, and for other purposes, having considered
the same, reports favorably thereon without amendment and rec-
ommends that the bill do pass.
PURPOSE OF THE BILL
The purpose of H.R. 5179 is to require the Secretary of the Inte-
rior to establish a Tribal Wildlife Corridors program, allowing for
greater habitat connectivity on tribal lands nominated by Indian
tribes.
BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
Migration and habitat connectivity are key to the survival of
many North American species. Some species must travel across
large areas to find food or a mate; 1 other species complete annual
migrations to breeding or feeding grounds. For example, each
spring, thousands of Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem elk move from
their lower altitude winter ranges to their higher altitude summer
