Osprey Restoration: An American Success Story | Partner With a Payer

#osprey #habitat #Conservation
Excise taxes paid by manufacturers and importers of firearms and ammunition are a pillar of #conservation funding in the U.S. In the latest video in our Partner with a Payer series, representatives from Henry Repeating Arms, New Jersey Fish & Wildlife, and NSSF join to survey and band an osprey population. Excise tax funding has supported revitalizing the osprey population in New Jersey while preserving public land access for uses like hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities. Due to the steady funding received, osprey nests in New Jersey have increased from only 50 to over 700 nests.
Companies including firearm and ammunition manufacturers and importers fund these conservation efforts by paying excise taxes established by the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act (known as the Pittman-Robertson Act). More than $16.4 billion (over $25 billion when adjusted for inflation) have been contributed and distributed to individual states to allocate funds toward wildlife conservation, hunter-education programs and target shooting programs.
