Services

Federally funded, authorized, or implemented projects must be reviewed for impacts to threatened or endangered species. If a federal agency feels their project may affect a threatened or endangered species, consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service begins to ensure those impacts are properly assessed, are minimized when possible, and don't jeopardize the recovery of a species. Below are resources to help you navigate the project review process.
