Asian Elephant Conservation Reauthorization Act of 2001

This law extended federal funding through 2007 for the conservation of Asian elephants, providing financial resources to protect their habitats and manage human-elephant conflicts in their native countries. It authorized the Secretary of the Interior to form an advisory group of conservation experts to guide these efforts and placed a cap on how much money could be spent on administrative overhead to ensure more funds reached the field. For the public, this measure continued the United States' commitment to international wildlife preservation and ensured that tax dollars allocated for conservation were managed with increased oversight and efficiency.
