The Delaware Wildlife Action Plan is a comprehensive strategy for conserving all native wildlife species and habitats - common and uncommon - as vital components of the state's natural resources. While the plan itself is intended for all who are actively engaged in conservation efforts, the implementation of the plan will be coordinated by the Division of Fish and Wildlife. Working together with conservation partners, the Division's goal is to keep Delaware's common species common, and to prevent species from being listed as endangered. The wildlife action plan can be accessed below. ____________________________________________________________
