Guam Comprehensive Wildlife Convervation Strategy
The primary goal of the Guam Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy (GCWCS) is to provide for the effective management, preservation, protection, and restoration of the island’s natural resources especially those species of greatest conservation need, now and for the future. The Guam Department of Agriculture’s Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources (GDAWR) is the lead agency in the management of Guam’s natural resources. This includes all management activities associated with aquatic and terrestrial fauna. GDAWR also manages the island’s hunting and fishing programs, conducts all associated monitoring and assessment, and coordinates successful captive rearing and propagation programs for the recovery of endangered species.
