Great Cats and Rare Canids Act of 2009

Summary

Great Cats and Rare Canids Act of 2009 - Establishes the Great Cats and Rare Canids Conservation Fund (Fund) as a separate account of the Multinational Species Conservation Fund. Directs the Secretary of the Interior to use amounts in the Fund to provide assistance for projects for the conservation of rare felids and rare canids. Restricts the use of grants for captive breeding or display purposes. Prohibits amounts provided as a grant under this Act from being expended on any project in a country the government of which has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism. Authorizes the Secretary to establish an advisory group to assist in carrying out this Act, consisting of individuals representing public and private organizations actively involved in felid and canid conservation. Requires the Secretary to initiate a study of felid and canid species listed under the IUCN Red List (the Red List of Threatened Species Maintained by the World Conservation Union) that are not rare canids and rare felids to determine: (1) the conservation status of each such species in the wild, including identification of those that are critically endangered or endangered; and (2) whether any such species should be made eligible for project assistance.
