Combating Understaffing On National Wildlife Refuges Throughout The Country

Combating Understaffing On National Wildlife Refuges Throughout The Country

The National Wildlife Refuge Association listens to the growing concerns of refuges about how chronic underfunding is affecting their refuge, complex, and region. Due to this underfunding, staff positions are being cut, law enforcement is expected to cover thousands of acres (and in the worst-case scenario, a full state), refuges are being complexed, and important programs are being dropped.
