The Human-Wildlife Conflict Reduction Act of 2026 establishes a program to develop nonlethal strategies for reducing conflicts between humans, wildlife, and livestock. Priority is given to states with existing initiatives, reducing livestock depredation, and minimizing damage to infrastructure and agriculture. The program includes research, assistance to landowners and organizations, sharing best practices, and supporting state-level plans. The Secretary of Agriculture must submit an annual report to Congress detailing program activities. For the implementation of this section, $20,000,000 is authorized annually until 2031, with restrictions on the use of funds for research activities.
