Since the first wildlife refuge was set aside in 1903, a variety of unique ecosystems have been preserved within the more than 500 units of the National Wildlife Refuge System -- Arctic tundra and prairie potholes, tropical Hawaiian forests and Sonora deserts among others. The Refuges and Wildlife Program addresses a wide variety of issues affecting the National Wildlife Refuge System, including policy issues such as appropriate or compatible use, management policies and conflicting needs of the public and the wildlife. It also follows such issues as hunting and fishing in refuge areas, water and mineral rights, endangered species and threats from external sources such a pollution. The files are organized around three of its directors, William Reffalt, Pam Eaton and James Waltman.
