Congress has the chance to pass the biggest bipartisan bill for wildlife in half a century when they return to DC in September. The Recovering America’s Wildlife Act, which would provide $1.4 billion in annual funding to help over 12,000 species of concern across the country, passed the House earlier this summer in a bipartisan vote. With a diverse list of cosponsors on both sides of the aisle in the Senate, the bill could become the most significant wildlife conservation law since the Endangered Species Act!
