2012 - 2016 Strategic Plan Focus Areas, Region 8 (CA/NV), Partners for Fish and Wildlife

This Plan is the product of a collaborative effort between the Regional Office (RO) and the 18 Local Program offices in Region 8 that are delivering the Partners program. Each office participated in a formal planning process (engaging other Service programs and external partners) to develop geographic focus areas, objectives, and strategies for the Partners Program. The National strategic goals of the Partners Program are to: 1) Conserve habitat2) Broaden and strengthen partnerships3) Improve information sharing and communication4) Enhance our workforce 5) Increase accountabilityField Coordinators will spend a minimum of 50 percent of their time and resources to conduct priority strategic habitat restoration actions within these designated Focus Areas over the next five years (2012-2016). Additionally, we will strive to meet specific restoration targets of acres and miles to help us track our conservation progress within the focus areas. Restoration target goals are recorded in the 2012-2016 Strategic Plan, and have been entered in the USFWS HabITS performance tracking database.
