National Wildlife Refuges

National Wildlife Refuges This U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) feature layer depicts National Wildlife Refuges. These Refuges display external boundary of lands and waters administered by FWS. According to FWS, "Each unit of the Refuge System — whether it is a wildlife refuge, a marine national monument, a conservation area or a waterfowl production area — is established to serve a statutory purpose that targets the conservation of native species dependent on its lands and water. All activities on those acres are reviewed for compatibility with this statutory purpose."

We are the only agency in the federal government whose primary responsibility is the conservation and management of these important natural resources for the American public.”
