FWS Personnel with Canoe

Since 1903, increased urbanization, changes in agricultural practices, drainage and development of marshes and tidal wetlands, drought and pollution continue to take their toll on America’s wildlife habitat. Employees of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, like this one at Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Maine, help protect, restore, and manage lands for the enhancement of wildlife and the continuing benefit of the American people.
