Plain-English Summary
The proposal would establish a coordinated system for federal agencies to track and share information about illegally taken wildlife and confiscated animals across public lands. This network would help law enforcement officials work together more effectively to combat poaching and illegal wildlife trafficking, ultimately protecting endangered species and natural resources. The measure affects hunters, wildlife agencies, park rangers, and anyone involved in enforcing wildlife protection laws.
