The Texas Teaming with Wildlife Coalition is led by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and includes wildlife biologists, hunters & anglers, birdwatchers, hikers, nature-based businesses, and other conservationists. This is a coalition of more than 5,000 organizations seeking new and greater funding for wildlife conservation and related education and recreation.

Texas is extremely diverse, with 10 distinct ecoregions, ranging from desert in the western portion of the state to the dense forests in the east. Texas is ranked #2, only to California, in terms of its biodiversity - with the highest number of birds and reptiles and the second highest number of plants and mammals in the U.S.

Fortunately, if we invest in the Texas Wildlife Action Plan today, we can conserve this spectacular wildlife heritage for future generations.

More than 100 organizations and businesses from across Texas have come together to spread the word about the Texas Wildlife Action Plan and to secure the funding it needs for success. You can help by joining the coalition, engaging organizations in your community, and urging our elected officials to support the federal State Wildlife Grants Program and legislation providing long-term, dedicated funding for wildlife conservation and related education and recreation.
