North Dakota Wildlife Action Plan
The key to ensuring long-term survival of fish and wildlife resources in North Dakota is to maintain diverse grasslands, wetlands, woodlands, rivers and streams. The North Dakota Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy presents a plan to conserve the state's wildlife by focusing on these and other habitat types while coordinating statewide conservation actions with partner organizations and the many private landowners who control nearly 90 percent of land in the state.
