We work for you... by conserving the nature of America.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal Federal agency for conserving, protecting, and enhancing fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of you, the American public. We manage the 93-million-acre National Wildlife Refuge System with more than 530 individual refuges, wetlands, and special management areas - to mark their 100th anniversary in 2003. We operate 66 national fish hatcheries, 64 fishery resource offices, and 78 ecological services field stations - local offices near to you, where we work to conserve natural resources. We enforce Federal wildlife protection laws, such as the Endangered Species Act. We manage migratory birds ... restore nationally significant fisheries ... conserve wetlands ... and help foreign governments with their conservation efforts. Below is a list of offices with major responsibilities for conserving wildlife and habitats. Please see our Index/Site Map to find other routes to our information online. |
