National Wildlife Services

National Wildlife Services (NWS) is a division within the U.S. Department of Agriculture that manages wildlife-related issues. It provides science-based solutions to prevent and resolve conflicts between humans, agriculture, and wildlife. NWS offers services like controlling pests that damage crops or threaten public health, responding to wildlife emergencies, and supporting conservation efforts. Their goal is to protect both people and wildlife, balancing ecological health with safety and economic interests. They collaborate with local, state, and tribal agencies to address wildlife challenges on a national scale through research, technical assistance, and management programs.
