The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is a federal agency within the Department of the Interior. Its primary mission is to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, and their habitats. The agency manages national wildlife refuges, enforces wildlife laws, and oversees the Endangered Species Act to help protect threatened species. USFWS also conducts research and provides education about wildlife conservation. It works with state and local governments, as well as private organizations, to promote sustainable practices. Through these efforts, the agency aims to ensure that future generations can enjoy diverse ecosystems and wildlife, including species like the California condor and gray wolf.
