Under its Establishment Act, NFWF is authorized by Congress, among other things, “to receive and administer restitution and community service payments, amounts for mitigation of impacts to natural resources, and other amounts arising from legal, regulatory, or administrative proceedings, subject to the condition that the amounts are received or administered for purposes that further the conservation and management of fish, wildlife, plants, and other natural resources.” (16 U.S.C. §3703(c)(1)(K).)

Funds from Enforcement Actions

Enforcement actions brought by governmental authorities for violations of environmental or other natural resource laws are often settled on terms that require defendants to make community service or restitution payments.  In turn, these types of payments are generally required to be applied in a manner that provides some redress for the underlying violations.
