Shelters allow people to access a number of popular activities that depend on thriving populations of fish and wildlife. These include hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing, photography and education. Many people and organizations own land with plants, animals and their important habitats. By making your property a nature reserve, you can protect and preserve the wildlife on your property and contribute to the conservation of our unique Australian plants and animals. Through partnerships, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is a leader in developing community-centered conservation solutions that deliver environmental and economic benefits to fish, wildlife and people.
