BLM wildlife and fisheries biologists work with other specialists to manage wildlife and fisheries habitat on public lands. This is accomplished through the use of water developments, fences, vegetation, nesting structures, and other improvements that will benefit wildlife. Then, the biologist determines whether the improvements have actually brought positive results or if changes need to be made.
