The Arizona Game and Fish Department has actively partnered in the Mexican Wolf Reintroduction Program since its inception and additionally provides administrative support to the AZ Livestock Loss Board (ALLB).

The ALLB has deployed depredation compensation programs since 2016 with grant funds utilized to compensate participating AZ livestock producers for independently confirmed Mexican wolf depredations of livestock at existing market rates.

The project budget totals 300,000 dollars, with 150,000 dollars representing federal funds and 150,000 dollars being nonfederal match.

Of the 150,000 requested federal funds, 142,500 or 95 percent is budgeted to support direct payments to ALLB approved applicants and 7,500 or 5 percent to be directed to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation for contracted ALLB applicant payment processing and tracking services.
