The United States provides foreign assistance in the form of financial, programmatic, and technical support to address international conservation activities. International conservation activities include those relating to species protection, habitat restoration, and forest recovery, among other priorities. Several federal agencies administer these programs, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Department of State, and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Many Members of Congress have demonstrated interest in international conservation, particularly with respect to biodiversity issues, conservation funding, and congressional oversight. In particular, some Members maintain an active interest in international conservation treaties to which the United States is a signatory, such as the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Recently, concerns over conservation efforts have escalated in the wake of a report asserting a significant loss in biodiversity due to human interactions with natural resources. Table 1 provides a list of selected U.S. international programs that address biodiversity and conservation. It includes a description of each program, as well as the enacted funding levels for FY2018-FY2020. The funding in Table 1 is for specific programs, for financial commitments to international treaties or organizations, or from a line item in appropriations law or a committee report that identifies funding for a set of activities. This list and these funding levels are not exhaustive, as some activities may be conducted as part of multi-sectoral projects with focus areas not limited to conservation. Conservation also may be a secondary objective of programs targeting adjacent issues.
