Natural Resource Program Center. 2010. Funding the Natural Resource Challenge: FY 2009 Report to Congress. Natural Resource Report. NPS/NRPC/NRR—2010/208. Natural Resource Program Center. Fort Collins, Colorado
The Report to Congress reports on the National Park Service's natural resource expenditures and accomplishments in Fiscal Year 2009. When the Natural Resource Challenge was first funded in FY 2000, Congress requested that the National Park Service report on Challenge-related expenditures and accomplishments. By providing financial details for FY 2009, this report responds to that request. To provide a more complete picture of the state of natural resource funding and accomplishments across the National Park System, this report also includes information about expenditures for Servicewide natural resource stewardship programs that are not part of the Natural Resource Challenge (e.g., Natural Sounds Program, Environmental Quality Program).To reflect the 10th anniversary of the Natural Resource Challenge, this report also includes a timeline of significant natural resource highlights and a summary of progress over the life of the Challenge using the three major challenges outlined in the 1999 action plan: protecting native species and their habitats, providing leadership for a healthy environment, and connecting parks to protected areas and parks to people.
