Conserving Wildlife and Habitats Working with Others Educating for Conservation Learning about Us

We work for you ... by encouraging you to become a part of America's conservation work! The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is an interesting place to visit ... because what we do is such great work! Conservation of fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats is very meaningful to us ... and, we hope, to you, too! We've provided a number of links to help you understand the work and organization of the Fish and Wildlife Service - our history, our mission, our locations, and our people. The Service's major responsibilities involve migratory birds, endangered species, certain marine mammals, and freshwater and anadromous fish - as well as people, of course. At the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, we work with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. We invite you to explore the Fish and Wildlife Service, and we hope you will consider joining us as an employee or a volunteer. Below is a list of sites that describe the work of the Service. Please see our Index/Site Map to find other routes to our information online.
