Holy mackerel. Last I tallied it up (it’s September 2023), the projects we’ve been tracking for Wild Billions now amount to more than $1 billion—$1,069,430,677, to be exact.
That’s money federal agencies are spending on nature in the greater San Francisco Bay Area—from the Farallones to the Sierras—thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act.
Here’s the map of projects we’ve found so far. We’ll keep updating it as we find more.
And if you want to get in on this money? Get started with our tips for community-based organizations and local governments.
