Working Lands for Wildlife is a partnership between NRCS and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to combat the decline of seven specific wildlife species whose decline can be reversed and will benefit other species with similar habitat needs.

Through Working Lands for Wildlife landowners can voluntarily participate in an incentive-based effort to:

• Restore populations of declining wildlife species.
• Provide farmers, ranchers, and forest managers with regulatory certainty that conservation investments they make today help sustain their operations over the long term.
• Strengthen and sustain rural economies by restoring and protecting the productive capacity of working lands.

WLFW uses a voluntary, innovative approach to benefit high-priority habitat wildlife that are declining, candidates for listing or listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Through WLFW, NRCS works with agricultural producers to create and improve wildlife habitat with regulatory predictability from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).

WLFW targets species whose decline can be reversed and benefit other species with similar habitat needs in Georgia include the gopher tortoise and golden-winged warbler.
