QF THE 50 STATes OF (AMD ^AA^^A6E^^G^^T FEOERAL AMP •STATE EMvARONMEMTAL p^cjrecTiofJ AGeMciEs \AJlLDLlFE HAS NAAMY MELPlMG HANO^ The Service is funded primarily from the Treasury to the extent of around $90 million a year. It receives more than $10 million annually from Duck Stamp revenues that are applied primarily to the expansion and development of the national wildlife refuge system. Each waterfowl hunter, 16 years of age and over, must purchase a federal hunting stamp each year. The Forest Service which controls 187 million acres of national forests, and the Bureau of Land Management which administers 465 million acres of public lands, and the Soil Conservation Service also employ staffs of wildlife specialists whose salaries are paid by congres- sional appropriations. Considering the vast acreages of wildlife habitat involved, the manpower and funds available have been inadequate to cope with the magnitude of the task. Each of the 50 states has an agency responsible for managing and protecting wildlife. These agencies are financed almost exclusively by sales of licenses to hunters and anglers and by receipts from federal taxes on sporting arms and ammunition and fishing tackle allocated to them for approved fish and wildlife conservation projects. The combined annual budgets of the state agencies, from these sources and others, exceed a third of a billion dollars. Approximately, $250 million of this is derived from sportsmen. 22.
