International conservation activities include those relating to species protection, biodiversity, habitat restoration, and forest recovery, among other issues. 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). Some Members of Congress have demonstrated interest in international conservation, particularly with respect to biodiversity and human rights issues, funding for foreign assistance, and oversight of U.S. agencies administering related activities. Further, there is continued congressional 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 Flora and Fauna (CITES). Table 1 lists selected U.S. international programs that address conservation. (This list excludes programs primarily addressing climate change.) It includes a description of each program, as well as the enacted funding levels for FY2020-FY2023 and the FY2024 Administration's request. 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 funding levels are not exhaustive, as some conservation activities not included may be conducted as part of multi-sectoral projects with a focus on objectives not limited to conservation. Other programs where conservation may be a secondary objective may not be listed in this table.
