The Bureau of Land Management's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
The Wildlife Program is designed to support the long-term conservation of wildlife and biodiversity on public lands through a science-based approach. It addresses habitat connectivity and climate change impacts, targeting projects that meet land health standards and resource objectives for priority species and habitats as outlined in land use plans. The program emphasizes collaboration with BLM offices, other programs, Federal, state, and tribal governments, and non-governmental partners for coordinated management. It also involves leveraging the latest geospatial data technologies and partnerships with state fish and wildlife agencies, tribal governments, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The program is part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and supports projects funded through the Inflation Reduction Act, focusing on resilience, ecosystems restoration, and DOI initiatives.
