Which Federal agency provides aid to state wildlife agencies for hunting-related projects?

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the federal agency responsible for providing support and funding to state wildlife agencies for various hunting-related projects. This agency manages national wildlife refuges and safeguards migratory birds, as well as other fish and wildlife resources. One of its key roles includes administering the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program, which allocates federal funds derived from excise taxes on sporting equipment to enhance wildlife conservation and management efforts at the state level. This support aids in habitat restoration, research, and public education initiatives related to hunting and wildlife conservation.

The other agencies listed have different focuses; for example, the Environmental Protection Agency primarily deals with pollution control and environmental regulation, the U.S. Forest Service manages national forests and grasslands, while the National Park Service focuses on preserving natural and cultural resources in national parks.
