The BLM Wildlife Resource Management Program implements statutory authorities to address the management of wildlife resources on the public lands for the social and economic well-being of all Americans.
Program Goals
- Supporting wildlife habitat enhancement projects that improve priority habitats and maintain or improve migration and habitat connectivity areas for priority wildlife species.
- Support projects with state and Tribal wildlife agencies to provide information about the status and trends of wildlife on BLM-managed lands by addressing data gaps and implementing coordinated regional monitoring.

For example, this might include new information about water availability during extended droughts or new findings about impacts of invasive species.
