Tools for Partners and Landowners
tools
for partners and landowners include:
Our nation’s
private landowners are critical to the success of the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service’s mission to conserve, protect and
enhance fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats. The Service
has many tools and programs for conservation of fish, wildlife
and plants on private lands.
It is estimated that
two-thirds of our nation's lands are privately owned. The U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service recognizes that the key to ensuring
healthy fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats rests in
the hands of private landowners.
The Conservation
Partnerships Program is a collection of voluntary habitat restoration
programs with the goal of restoring native Pacific Island ecosystems
through collaborative projects. This program seeks to implement
large-scale conservation efforts for the benefit of native ecosystems
by working cooperatively with private landowners, conservation
organizations, community groups, and other government agencies.
The Coastal
Conservation Program
The Invasive
Species Program
Through the
Conservation Planning and Permits program, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) works with private landowners, local and state
governments, tribes, corporations, and other entities who are
non-Federal landowners to conserve and protect listed and unlisted
species on non-Federal lands.
