Title	Partners for Fish and Wildlife Programs
Description	21 Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program Who can participate? Any privately owned land is potentially eligible for restoration. Most applicants are individual landowners. For the purposes of this program, “ privately owned” means lands not owned by a State or the Federal Government. Since 1987, USFWS has entered into over 35,000 landowner agreements. “ From 2001 to 2003, one of our cooperative conservation programs, our Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, restored more than 700,000 acres of prairie and 150,000 acres of wetands, working with nearly 9,000 partners.” — Secretary Gale Norton Department of the Interior March 4, 2004 Besides the habitat improvements, one of the most important accomplishments of this project is that it has became an example to other private landowners. The Hacienda Pellejas project has been featured in the local press. As a result, other landowners now know that having abundant wildlife and helping the Puerto Rican parrot can happen. For more information: http://www. fws. gov/ partners Service regional contacts are listed on page 23. “ One of the best Interior cooperative programs is the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, which involves about 27,000 private landowners who are enhancing natural habitats on their lands.” — Lynn Scarlett Assistant Secretary of Policy, Management, and Budget Department of the Interior “ The value of the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program is incalculable, not because of its financial incentives but because of the one- on- one and coffee- table relationship with the Service biologists. They are always there when you need them!” — Dr. Luis Ramos Photos courtesy of Leopoldo Miranda, USFWS Hector Gonzalez ( at left) Private Landowner Puerto Rican Giant Anole
