The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation recently launched its portal in the Conservation Registry! The portal will show the world where the Foundation is making conservation investments to protect native species and their native habitats.

Congress created the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation in 1984 to help direct public conservation dollars to the most pressing environmental needs and match those dollars with private funds. The Foundation prides itself on their creative and pragmatic approach to doing conservation and they have contributed to some of the most innovative projects, ranging from teaching Whooping Cranes to fly to creating a market-based program for river restoration.

Registry portal’s give agencies and organizations a way to share what they’re doing on-the-ground with others, visualize their projects in a larger context, and tailor the Registry’s features to fit their own needs. The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation needed a way to track and share their projects on a map in a very easy-to-use, publicly accessible manner and creating a portal provided them with that capability.
