Great news for wildlife & conservation! 🎉 We’re working with the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) to distribute $30 million to animal & plant care facilities that lost 25% of revenue or more due to the COVID-19 pandemic: ow.ly/f0Lb50G9ktK 
The $30 million was provided to @USFWS via the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. #WildlifeConservation #EndangeredSpecies
Zoos, aquariums & other facilities work alongside the federal government to rehabilitate injured animals & help save endangered species from extinction.
Maintaining high standards of care for captive threatened & endangered species is key to the conservation & recovery process.

"The American Rescue Plan provides critical financial support to zoos, aquariums & other institutions... By working with AZA... we hope to provide some much-needed financial relief to those who help care for imperiled species." - @USFWS Principal Deputy Director Martha Williams
