The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), a bureau within the United States Department of the Interior, is America’s principal conservation agency within the Executive Branch of U.S. government. The FWS is the primary federal agency responsible for the conservation, protection, and enhancement of the America’s fish and wildlife populations and their habitats.

Although the FWS shares some conservation responsibilities with other federal, state, tribal, local, and private entities, it has specific trustee obligations for migratory birds, threatened and endangered species, anadromous fish, and certain marine mammals. As part of its mission, the Service administers the National Wildlife Refuge System, a national network of lands and waters established for the management and protection of these resources.
