PartnershipsThe Wildlife Program addresses national wildlife concerns by maintaining partnerships with State, Tribal, and municipal governments concerning local wildlife research issues. USGS Biology programs represent the research arm of the DOI agencies managing the nation's natural resources. To meet the science needs of those who make natural resource management decisions, programs closely cooperate and develop new forms of partnerships with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, and other agencies.
The Wildlife program provides research supporting the following nation-wide bird conservation initiatives:
USGS Biology Resources Discipline collaborates with other government agencies, environmental groups, private industry, academic and research institutions, as well as interested individuals from Mexico, Canada, and the United States in the framework of the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC) to protect pollinating species in North America. Visit the NAPPC Web site to learn more about this collaborative initiative http://www.nappc.org Amphibian Research National and International Initiatives:
Many partnerships between USGS, the host universities, State natural resource agencies, the Wildlife Management Institute, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are maintained by means of Cooperative Research Units Program ( http://www.coopunits.org/). The Cooperative Research Units (or Coops) are located at land grant universities in most states. For more information please visit the program site at http://www.coopunits.org/. |
Partnership in Action USGS and FWS biologists track the migration routes of Marbled Godwits, a species of high concern, using satellite technology. Lightweight, solar-powered satellite transmitters are attached to the birds' backs and convey precise information as to the their hourly movements. Meetings and Conferences
