This bill extends the North American Wetlands Conservation Act by authorizing funding through fiscal year 2028 instead of the current expiration in 2025. The legislation increases annual spending for wetlands conservation projects from $60 million to $65 million per year, providing an additional $5 million annually for the program. The bill affects wetland conservation efforts across North America by ensuring continued federal support for habitat protection and restoration projects. The reauthorization allows the program to continue funding partnerships between the federal government, states, tribes, and conservation organizations that work to preserve critical wetland ecosystems that support wildlife, prevent flooding, and filter water pollution.
