Abstract: The Administration Act, as amended by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 (Improvement Act; Pub. L. 105–57), governs the administration and public use of refuges. Amendments enacted by the Improvement Act were built upon the Administration Act in a manner that provides an “organic act” for the Refuge System, similar to organic acts that exist for other public Federal lands. The Improvement Act serves to ensure that we effectively manage the Refuge System as a national network of lands, waters, and interests for the protection and conservation of our Nation’s wildlife resources. The Administration Act states first and foremost that we focus our Refuge System mission on conservation of fish, wildlife, and plant resources and their habitats. The Administration Act states that, "In administering the System, the Secretary shall... ensure effective coordination, interaction, and cooperation with owners of land adjoining refuges..." This is one of 14 directives to the Secretary contained within the Refuge Administration Act. The Administration Act also authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations to carry out the purposes of the Act.
