Strategic Plan: The Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program. Stewardship of Fish and Wildlife Through Voluntary Conservation, October 1, 2006-September 30, 2010.

摘要

The Strategic Plan for the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program (Program) consists of three parts, each developed cooperatively by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) headquarters, regional, and field office staffs and, most importantly, our stakeholders and partners. Part 1, the Vision Document describes our Program and five major goals that will guide program operations for the next five years. These five goals are intended to lead to the ultimate end outcome of increasing and maintaining Federal Trust Species populations. Part 2, the Regional Step-down Plans will identify geographic focus areas in each region, provide estimated annual project accomplishment targets and describe anticipated benefits to Federal Trust Species. Part 3, the National Summary Document will use regional plans as a base to describe a national overview of habitat priorities and 5-year performance targets. The Program is the Services vanguard for non-regulatory, voluntary, citizen and community-based stewardship efforts for fish and wildlife conservation. It is based on the premise that fish and wildlife conservation is a responsibility shared by citizens and government. We provide willing partners with financial and technical assistance to accomplish stewardship projects that benefit Federal Trust Species. Five major goals have been identified as core components of our vision for the Program. First, and foremost, is our goal to conserve habitat for the benefit of priority fish and wildlife species. To enhance our mission capabilities we need to broaden and strengthen partnerships; improve information sharing and communication; and, enhance our workforce. To increase accountability, we need to measure progress toward Department of the Interior (DOI), Service, and Program strategic goals and ensure that our actions are efficient and effective.
