 The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is to conserve, protect, and enhance fish and wildlife and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people by working with others. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service works with a wide variety of partners to restore wildlife habitat on public and private lands to accomplish this mission. These partners include other Federal agencies, Tribes, State and local governments, conservation organizations, academic institutions, businesses and industries, school groups, and private individuals.
These restored habitats provide important food, cover, and water for Federal trust species. These species include migratory birds (e.g. waterfowl, shore and wading birds, songbirds, and birds of prey) anadromous fish, threatened and endangered species, as well as other fish, wildlife and plant species that have experienced population declines. Many of these projects are located near existing National Wildlife Refuge System lands, or State Wildlife Management Areas, providing increased benefits to fish and wildlife that rely on these lands for survival. |
