The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announces the release of its Migratory Bird Program's ten-year strategic plan entitled A Blueprint for the Future of Migratory Birds. Over the last eighteen months, the Service has been working in collaboration with its partners to recommit to its migratory bird trust responsibilities and set a successful course for migratory bird conservation over the next decade. The Plan underwent a two-month public review in fall 2003, and was further scrutinized by Service employees and partners at a Migratory Bird Conservation Forum in January 2004. These events were invaluable to producing a document that sets a clear, ambitious direction for migratory bird conservation with widespread support within the conservation community. In many ways, the process was as beneficial as the product. The plan describes
the challenges facing migratory bird conservation and the Migratory Bird
Program's priorities, vision, goals, and strategies to surmount these
challenges and secure a promising future for migratory birds and the people
that appreciate them. Use the following links to see the strategic plan and related resources. Message from Steve Williams, Director of the Service
