What does this mean?

The Urban Bird Treaty Program is an existing effort run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the federal agency that looks after wildlife, and it partners with cities and towns to protect birds that live in or pass through urban areas. Right now it operates without a specific law behind it, and this bill would write it into federal law so it has formal legal authority. The bill also describes the kind of support the program gives, including grants (money awarded for specific projects) that are handled by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, a nonprofit organization that distributes funds for conservation work. Those grants can go to groups such as local and other government agencies, community organizations, and universities to carry out bird-related activities under the program. The summary doesn't say how much money would be provided or what specific projects would be funded.
