Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)‌ Sample Clauses

Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)‌. In order to ensure compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and to protect valuable habitats and endangered species, all disaster projects where participants will be entering or impacting natural areas must ensure that activities are not negatively affecting endangered species or their habitats. NEPA and ESA require NDWG projects to either affirm to FWS that there are no endangered species or habitats within the project area, or to consult with FWS to mitigate negative impacts where there are endangered species or protected habitats before beginning any work in those areas. For more information, contact a local FWS field office (xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxxx/ ).

Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)‌ to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) would create an administrative nightmare for the FWS, diminish resources for conserving wildlife and force the American taxpayer to write a blank check for undisclosed costs. “With this agreement, the Department of the Interior is effectively saying ‘wildlife comes second’ on a national wildlife refuge,” said Xxxx Xxxxxxx, President of the National Wildlife Refuge Association (NWRA). “If signed, this agreement will hinder the FWS’s ability to manage the National Bison Range as a national wildlife refuge; it will result in reduced resources for wildlife conservation; and the American taxpayer will be asked to foot the undisclosed bill with a blank check. The message to Congress and the public is, ‘buyer beware,’ this agreement is a lemon.” Established in 1908, the National Bison Range is one of the oldest refuges in the country. In addition to the famous bison herds that roam the Range, the refuge is also home to deer, elk, bighorn sheep, black bear, pronghorn and more than 211 bird species, just to name a few of the animals found on this spectacular wildlife refuge in northwest Montana. National Bison Range is one of the most popular refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS), experiencing some of the highest visitation and public use. Visitors come from all over the world to see the bison and other animals on the Range. Announced in a July 14 Federal Register Notice, the draft “annual funding agreement” would hand over approximately 11 FWS jobs and key refuge functions to the CSKT while restricting FWS oversight of management decisions such as the hiring of subcontractors. As drafted, the agreement would effectively abrogate or, at a minimum, seriously diminish the authority of the FWS to manage the Refuge. According to the National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966, refuges and the Refuge System must be managed by the FWS. Further, the refuge currently enjoys tremendous support from volunteers, who contribute more than 5,000 hours—equal to 2.5 full-time staff positions—to the refuge annually. These volunteers have liability coverage through the federal government. However, because there is nothing in the agreement making considerations for volunteers, the CSKT’s sovereign immunity as an independent government will cause the volunteers to lose their liability protection once the agreement takes effect and the Tribe takes control, putting them at risk if they want to continue ...
