    DOI's press release (Feb 11, 2026) states that Interior "recent announcement to refocus approximately $8 million of grant programming on supporting big-game winter range and migration corridors." The department’s site documents multiple prior and related grant investments (e.g., FY24–FY25 grant announcements and Secretarial Order 3362 implementation) supporting big-game winter range and migration corridors, which corroborates that Interior announced a refocusing of roughly $8 million toward those grants. Verdict: True — the Department of the Interior publicly stated it refocused about $8 million of grant programming to support big‑game winter range and migration corridors, and DOI documentation of related grant funding and programs supports that claim.
