"What a country chooses to save is what a country chooses to say about itself." So reads the entry quote (by Mollie H. Beattie) at the US Fish and Wildlife Service's Division of Realty page. The Division of Realty "supports the acquisition and management of Service Lands utilizing the Migratory Bird Conservation and the Land and Water Conservation Fund." To that end, the Division of Realty site provides information on land acquisition, protection policy, and conservation to maintain and enhance "the largest and most diverse (network of protected areas) in the world." Six sections form the heart of this searchable site: Base Program, Overview, Landowner's Guide, Land Protection Policy, Shared Revenue Payments, and Migratory Bird Conservation Commission. In addition, users can review past accomplishments, the 1998 Budget Request, and suggested links.
