Mixed Bag of Success
Game Species: Billions $$’s from license fees & excise taxes=Sustainable F&W
Nongame Species: Funding small & variable often voluntary=At-risk F&W
>90% of the funding available for <10% of the species

Funding Need
Average of $9.0 million needed to achieve 25% implementation of SWAP
Average of $25.8 million needed to achieve 75% implementation of SWAP
The top funding needs for implementation of State Wildlife Action Plans are for 1) protection of lands through acquisition, easements or leases; 2) management on public and private lands; 3) monitoring and research
Current SWG apportionment for PA ~$1.5M
