The Wildlife Program fulfills the Department of the Interior visions of improving the management of species and their habitats, enhancing conservation stewardship, and upholding trust and related responsibilities. The Wildlife Program helps ensure self-sustaining populations and a natural abundance and diversity of wildlife on public lands for the enjoyment and use of present and future generations. Healthy BLM-managed lands are vital to thousands of species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. In order to provide for the long-term conservation of these wildlife resources and maintain natural biodiversity, the Wildlife Program supports coordinated science-based approaches to address the habitat needs of species and to ensure habitat connectivity and climate resiliency. This multi-scale approach involves coordination with BLM offices and other programs; Federal, state, and tribal governments; and non-governmental partners to accomplish projects and coordinated management at appropriate scales. This includes species monitoring and coordinated habitat conservation and restoration across wildlife populations. The BLM’s primary partners in wildlife habitat conservation include the respective state fish and wildlife agencies, tribal governments, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Wildlife Program also collaborates with other agencies and numerous conservation partners to leverage resources and maximize the benefits for wildlife habitat. The Program is responsible for maintaining, restoring, and conserving species and their habitats in cooperation with the Federal and State wildlife agencies, and other partner organizations. The BLM uses the latest geospatial data technologies to share wildlife and wildlife data within BLM and with partners to work more efficiently.
