Title	From our Partners
Description	2 Dear Friends and Neighbors, Private landowners, large and small, play a vital role conserving habitat for fish, wildlife, and plants. In fact, more than two- thirds of the nation’s threatened and endangered species use habitat found on private land. If not for the efforts of caring landowners, we would lose the rich diversity of our nation’s heritage. Private landowner accomplishments to protect listed species have been impressive since Congress passed the Endangered Species Act in 1973. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service ( USFWS) programs described in this booklet are intended to assist landowners who want to continue the important work of conserving species. It is useful to think of the different programs described in the booklet as tools. Not every tool is right for every job. The booklet is intended to guide you to some of the tools that will best fit your needs and management goals. The USFWS Landowner Incentive Program and several U. S. Department of Agriculture programs also provide assistance for habitat conservation. For more information, contact either the USFWS or any of the undersigned organizations. It is important to understand that all of the programs described are voluntary. They are designed to allow interested landowners to fashion a conservation strategy that is consistent with their land management objectives. We hope you will consider these programs and become a partner to help recover imperiled species.
