This bill updates the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act to strengthen international efforts to protect birds that migrate between North and South America. The legislation increases the federal government's financial contribution to conservation projects from 25 percent to 33.3 percent of project costs, making it easier for conservation groups and international partners to fund habitat protection and other bird preservation efforts. The bill also requires the Department of the Interior to report to Congress within 180 days on how it is implementing cooperation measures with other countries and describes the makeup of an advisory group working on these conservation efforts. Finally, the bill extends the authorization for funding the program through 2028, allowing continued support for migratory bird conservation across the Americas.
