Featured Initiatives
Learn about how we further the conservation, protection, and enhancement of fish, wildlife and plants, and their habitats.
Protecting wildlife and their habitats
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the only agency in the federal government whose primary responsibility is the conservation and management of fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats for the American people. We protect species from extinction, restore habitats, and foster biological diversity. Learn more about all of our work to protect wildlife and conserve our natural resources.
How You Can Help
Duck Stamps
One of the easiest ways that anyone can support bird habitat conservation is by buying Federal Duck Stamps — among the most successful conservation tools ever created to protect habitat for birds and other wildlife.

Laws and Regulations
Regulations are an important part of our conservation efforts. During the past one hundred years, the United States has enacted wildlife laws and regulations, and ratified international treaties to protect our heritage of wild animals and plants and their habitats.
