U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service conserves, protects, and enhances fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The agency's Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program offers technical and financial assistance to private landowners to create and restore habitat on their lands. The Service also manages the National Wildlife Refuge System, protecting million acres of land and water nationwide for wildlife habitat and public enjoyment, with at least one refuge in each state.
