The Urban Bird Treaty Act of 2024 directs the Secretary of the Interior to establish a voluntary program focused on protecting birds and their habitats in urban areas. The program will work with cities, nonprofits, community groups, and academic institutions to restore urban bird habitats, reduce hazards to birds, and engage residents in bird monitoring and conservation education. The bill creates a competitive grant program administered through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to fund research, planning, habitat management, workforce training, and collaborative efforts related to urban bird conservation. The legislation authorizes one million dollars annually from 2025 through 2031 for the program, with the funding amount adjusted each year for inflation. This program applies to eligible entities including tribal, state, and municipal agencies, nonprofits, community groups, and academic institutions working on urban bird conservation projects.
