The California and Nevada Operations office has launched a new website that will highlight the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services activities in the two states and the Klamath Basin and provide a resource for regional information on wildlife refuges, fisheries, and endangered species.
The news media, political offices, partners and public in California and Nevada and the Klamath areas are encouraged to periodically check http://www.fws.gov/cno/news. All visitors to the website may also elect to automatically receive CNO news releases through the list server at http://www.fws.gov/cno/News/listserve.htm.
The Service established the California and Nevada Operations Office (CNO) in 1998 in recognition of the unique natural resource challenges facing California, Nevada and the Klamath Basin. Many of these challenges evolve from the inherently rich biodiversity of this area, coupled with many of the fastest growing communities in the Nation. Through the CNO, decision-making is placed at the local level, where managers are in a better position to develop partnerships with external groups and organizations.
