'''U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service International Affairs Program''' is a Department of the Interior initiative that oversees global wildlife conservation, managing over 40 treaties and U.S. laws to protect species like elephants, rhinos, and migratory birds across more than 100 countries, supporting over 1.3 million conservation actions since 1973 as of 2025. Headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, it integrates efforts through divisions like International Conservation and International Wildlife Trade, collaborating with private citizens, local communities, U.S. and foreign governments, NGOs, and industry groups, disbursing over $230 million in grants since 1990 to combat trafficking, enhance habitats, and implement CITES, with recent efforts like a 2024 bison conservation agreement with Canada and Mexico exemplifying its impact. | '''U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service International Affairs Program''' is a Department of the Interior initiative that oversees global wildlife conservation, managing over 40 treaties and U.S. laws to protect species like elephants, rhinos, and migratory birds across more than 100 countries, supporting over 1.3 million conservation actions since 1973 as of 2025.
