Covering roughly one-third of the country, federal lands are those owned by the American public. From forests and deserts to shorelines and swamps, federal lands protect habitats as diverse as the animals calling them home. Four federal agencies — the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Park Service — oversee hundreds of millions of acres that are the subject of our work.
From the Florida panther to the California condor, hundreds of animals and plants listed under the Endangered Species Act live on federal lands, highlighting their critical importance to wildlife.
