"Today's hearing, held by the Water, Wildlife, and Fisheries Subcommittee of the Committee on Natural Resources, focused on one of Congress's core responsibilities which is to provide oversight of federal programs and determine whether they are worthy of reauthorization. This hearing focused upon bi-partisan programs that provide a basis for community-led conservation efforts which help protect and improve some of the world's most iconic species and landscapes. I commend the sponsors of these bills for their work and look forward to helping them continue to encourage and promote community-based conservation."
