African Elephant Conservation Reauthorization Act of 2001

This law extends federal funding through 2007 for the conservation of African elephants, specifically supporting efforts to protect their habitats and combat illegal poaching. It requires the Department of the Interior to work with an advisory group of conservation experts and prioritize projects that create long-term, sustainable protection for elephant populations. For the average citizen, this act ensures that U.S. resources continue to support international wildlife preservation while placing strict limits on how much of that money can be spent on government administrative costs.
