Tools for Partners and Landowners

tools for partners and landowners include:

Conservation Partnership Program Invasive Species Program
Coastal Conservation Program Conservation Planning & Permits Program

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 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.
