Visit the links below or to the right to learn more about how the agency is conserving each one:
- Bats -- The Forest Service is working with Bat Conservation International, a non-governmental conservation organization that seeks to protect and enhance bat habitat as well as educate the public as to the critical roles bats play in a healthy ecosystem.
|
- Birds -- Valued by the American public, birds are indicators of ecosystem health. The Forest Service has spent millions of dollars restoring habitats here in the United States. Through the Wings Across the Americas, the Forest Service works with partners to conserve wintering grounds in Latin America and the Caribbean.
|
- Butterflies -- An exciting, new partnership, the Monarch Butterfly Conservation Initiative will link Federal and State/Provincial governmental agencies and non-governmental conservation groups in Canada, the US and Mexico together for a "flyway" approach to Monarch conservation. This initiative will involve many of our national forests as well as our private landowner partners in habitat enhancement, research and community education for Monarch conservation.
