Wildlife Services
Wildlife are one of America’s most valued public resources. Yet in the dynamic landscape we share, wildlife-related problems—disease threats, livestock predation, crop losses, property damage, and more—are common. Wildlife Services lead our Nation’s efforts to manage these problems. Our programs and research find innovative solutions that protect people, agriculture, and wildlife so all of us can coexist.
