On Friday, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Improvement Act of 2006 (H.R. 518). The bill specifies matching grants for conservation programs for migratory birds and would authorize $6.5 million per year for projects through 2010. The bill now goes to President Bush for his signature.
