National Park Service. The National Park Service (hereinafter called NPS) manages areas of the National Park System “to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations” (54 U.S.C. § 100101 et seq.). In support of this broad mission, the Secretary of the Interior “shall ensure that management of System units is enhanced by the availability and utilization of a broad program of the highest quality science and information” (54 U.S.C. § 100702), and “shall enter into cooperative agreements with colleges and universities, including land grant schools, in partnership with other Federal and State agencies, to establish cooperative study units to conduct multi-disciplinary research and develop integrated information products on the resources of the System, or the larger region of which System units are a part” (54 U.S.C. § 100703). The NPS is authorized to enter into cooperative agreements with public or private educational institutions, States, and their political subdivisions, for the purpose of developing adequate, coordinated, cooperative research and training activities concerning the resources of the National Park System (54 U.S.C. § 101702(b)); with State, local and tribal governments, other public entities, educational institutions, and private nonprofit organizations for the public purpose of carrying out National Park Service programs (54 U.S.C. § 101702(a)); with State, local, or tribal governments, other Federal agencies, other public entities, educational institutions, private nonprofit organizations, or participating private landowners or individuals for the purpose of protecting natural resources of units of the National Park System through collaborative efforts on land inside and outside of National Park System units (54 U.S.C. § 101702(d)) or to investigate, protect, preserve, maintain, or operate any historic or archeologic building, site, or object of national significance (54 U.S.C. §§ 320101-320103); and with any State or local government, public or private agency, organization, institution, corporation, individual, or other entity for the purpose of sharing costs or services in carrying out authorized functions and responsibilities of the Secretary of the Interior with respect to any unit or program of the National Park System, any affiliated area, or any designated National Scenic or...

National Park Service. Fisheries management in the National Park System is directed by policy and guidelines that directs NPS to manage parks and monuments “to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations” (NPS Organic Act of 1916, as amended). Management policies emphasize the restoration and conservation of natural assemblages of native species. Native fish are managed with an emphasis on preservation or restoration of natural behavior, genetic diversity and ecological integrity. The historic native range of RGC and RGS spans multiple parks, including but not limited to Bandelier National Monument, Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, Pecos National Historical Park, and the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx National Preserve.
National Park Service. The mission of the NPS is to preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The NPS cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world. The NPS Management Policies 2006 call for NPS units to successfully maintain plant and animal populations by preserving and monitoring natural abundances and diversity of species, preserving the processes that sustain them, restoring populations that have been reduced or extirpated by human activities, and minimizing human impacts on native species. To meet its commitments for maintaining native species in parks, Management Policies specifically states, among other things, that NPS will cooperate with FWS, NOAA Fisheries, States, Tribal governments, and other countries to: participate in local and regional scientific and planning efforts, identify ranges of populations of native species, and develop cooperative strategies for maintaining or restoring these species in parks; develop data, through monitoring, for use in management programs at every level including international management negotiations for far- ranging seasonal migrants; provide information about species life cycles, ranges, and population dynamics in interpretive programs to increase public awareness of management needs. Many NPS programs and individual park units are currently involved in bird conservation activities, including:
National Park Service. The NPS Organic Act 1916 (16 USC 1) articulates the purpose of the National Park Service and affirms that the NPS must manage park resources and values in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations. Additional details are provided in NPS Management Policies (NPS 2006): NPS “will successfully maintain native plants and animals by preserving and restoring the natural abundances, diversities, dynamics, distributions, habitats, and behaviors of native plant and animal populations and the communities and ecosystems in which they occur” (NPS 2006; Section 4.4.1), and NPS “will cooperate with other agencies, states, and private entities to promote candidate conservation agreements aimed at precluding the need to list species; and conduct actions and allocate funding to address endangered, threatened, proposed, and candidate species” (NPS 2006; Section 4.4.2.3).
