Wildlife Services

Wildlife Services is a program under the U.S. Department of Agriculture that focuses on managing wildlife populations to protect agriculture, human health, and property. They address conflicts between humans and wildlife, such as crop damage, animal predation, and health risks from wildlife. The agency employs methods like habitat management, non-lethal deterrents, and, when necessary, controlled removals to balance wildlife conservation with human interests. Their goal is to ensure safety and sustainability while respecting ecological systems.
