Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act

The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act, also known as the Pittman-Robertson Act, was enacted in 1937 to support wildlife conservation. It collects a tax on firearms and ammunition sales, and the revenue is distributed to states for wildlife management and habitat restoration projects. The goal is to enhance wildlife populations, protect natural habitats, and promote outdoor recreation. By providing states with funding, the Act helps ensure that future generations can enjoy and engage with wildlife and their habitats effectively.
