Biology
It is the policy of the Natural Resources Conservation Service to use the
biological sciences (a) to develop and improve soil and water conservation measures that
help maintain fish and wildlife as integral components of all ecosystems such as
forest, range, cropland, and aquatic ecosystems; (b) to protect the habitat of threatened
and endangered species of plants and animals; (c) to safeguard unique ecosystems; (d) to
develop and maintain an esthetically pleasing, high quality environment.
These goals form the basis for the development of the Biology Technical
Standards, Biology Job Sheets and Biology Technical Notes found below.
