The Service reviews permit applications and project proposals for a variety of activities ranging from registration of new pesticides to the filling of wetlands. The review and approval process for permits and proposed projects provides an opportunity to evaluate their potential impacts. The key is to balance use with conservation of natural communities. The Service's technical expertise is invaluable during these decision-making processes. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service strives to promote long-term conservation of animals, plants, and their habitats, and encourage joint stewardship with others through our involvement in these processes.
