The '''National Park Service (NPS) Conservation Initiatives''', rooted in the National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 and expanded by the National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund Act of 2020, are administered by the Department of the Interior (DOI) through its National Park Service (NPS) to provide conservation projects and grants to parks and partners, allocating over $27.1 billion since inception to support approximately 410 parks annually by 2025. Initially funded with $2 million, it has grown to distribute $2.1 billion in FY 2025 across 410 park initiatives, funding projects like wolf reintroduction in Yellowstone, coral reef restoration in Biscayne National Park, and wildfire mitigation in the Sierra Nevada at national parks nationwide.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nps.gov/conservation-initiatives |title=NPS Conservation Initiatives |publisher=National Park Service}}</ref> Despite its impact, challenges like funding competition, climate change impacts, and maintenance backlogs persist (web ID: 3), but it remains a cornerstone of DOI’s conservation efforts. Recent updates include a $100 million funding increase for FY 2025 under Public Law 118-342 (2024 Consolidated Appropriations Act), addressing intensified climate change impacts and maintenance needs for parks like Glacier National Park and the Grand Canyon. | The '''National Park Service (NPS) Conservation Initiatives''', rooted in the National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 and expanded by the National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund Act of 2020, are administered by the Department of the Interior (DOI) through its National Park Service (NPS) to provide conservation projects and grants to parks and partners, allocating over $27.1 billion since inception to support approximately 410 parks annually by 2025.
