Welcome to the Southwest Regional Refuge Planning Division's webpage. This page contains links to Comprehensive Conservation Plans (15-year refuge management plans), Land Protection Plans (refuge expansion plans) and Preliminary Project Proposals (initial plans to create, or greatly enlarge a refuge) for National Wildlife Refuges in the States of Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. The Southwest Region's 45 National Wildlife Refuges protect wildlife and habitats ranging from the Coastal Marshes of Texas to the Sonoran Desert of Arizona and the mountains of New Mexico to the river bottomlands of Oklahoma. The Planning Division staff hopes that this webpage encourages your participation in refuge planning.
