Wildlife Restoration Act

The Wildlife Restoration Act, also known as the Pittman-Robertson Act, is a law that funds wildlife conservation and outdoor recreation through taxes on firearms, ammunition, and hunting equipment. Collected revenue is then allocated to states for projects like habitat preservation, research, and hunting program improvements. Its goal is to ensure healthy wildlife populations and natural habitats while supporting hunting and outdoor activities. This funding mechanism helps balance conservation efforts with public access and responsible resource management, playing a key role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystems across the United States.
