Conserving the future: wildlife refuges and the next generation

For the past 18 months, the National Wildlife Refuge System has worked to create a vision that will guide the management of the Refuge System during the next decade and beyond. Conserving the Future is built on the foundation and inspiration of Fulfilling the Promise. This new vision seeks to not only further the System’s mission, but also to raise the Service’s profile in the broader national conservation effort. Consistent with our guiding legislation, Conserving the Future embraces bold, new ideas to realize the full conservation potential of the National Wildlife Refuge System.
