Between 1992 and 2007, the Service has entered into approximately 579 Wildlife Extension Agreements with private landowners throughout Nebraska. These projects have resulted in the protection, restoration, and/or enhancement of approximately:

• 37,119 acres of wetland habitat
• 139,259 acres of upland habitat
• 280 miles of stream/riparian habitat

These projects have benefitted federally listed species (e.g., whooping cranes, least terns, and piping plovers), migratory waterbirds (e.g., waterfowl, shorebirds, and wading birds), grassland nesting birds, and numerous other fish and wildlife species.

In addition, the Partners Program has developed over 30 successful partnerships with Federal and State agencies, local governments, and private organizations and continues to provide technical assistance to these partners in the implementation of key conservation programs.
