Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan

A Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan is a strategic document that guides the management of a protected natural area, like a wildlife refuge. It outlines goals for preserving wildlife, habitats, and natural resources, while allowing for public enjoyment and use. The plan considers environmental health, visitor needs, and ongoing research, ensuring balanced and sustainable stewardship. Developed with public input, it provides a long-term framework to protect biodiversity, facilitate education, and support the refuge’s ecological integrity over time.
