The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the federal agency charged with protecting endangered species and migratory birds and manages nearly 860 million acres of national wildlife refuges. Roughly 8,000 people work to carry out its mission to \u201cconserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Statement by Susan Holmes, Executive Director\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNesvik\u2019s nomination is devastating news for wildlife and endangered species. During his time as Director of Wyoming Fish and Game, he repeatedly called for weakening the Endangered Species Act, oversaw a 50% increase in hunting tags for mountain lions and black bears, and testified before the U.S. Congress that grizzly bears should lose endangered species protections, \u201cby whatever means is necessary.\u201d Last year, his Commission received global condemnation for imposing only a minimal fine when a Wyoming man used a snowmobile to run down and brutally torture a young female wolf. There is no doubt that if confirmed as Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, he will do the Trump Administration\u2019s bidding to advance unchecked drilling, mining, and logging of fragile wildlife habitats. He will sacrifice our precious endangered species for industry profits at every turn. It will be a war on wildlife that will wreak havoc on the protection and recovery of species from grizzlies to sea turtles to monarch butterflies.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Immediate Release\u00a0 Feb 12, 2025 Contact: Susan Holmes- (202)329-1553\u00a0 WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 On Wednesday, reports emerged that Donald Trump has nominated former Wyoming Game and Fish Director Brian Nevsik as the next Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.\u00a0 Nesvik\u2019s nomination has been referred to the Senate\u2019s Environment and Public Works Committee.
