Our Mission We work with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. Armed with that knowledge and a cast-iron confidence in himself, Haskett briskly tied a rope to a stick and waded in up to his neck—75 yards from shore—to fish the hunters out.

One had passed out by the time Haskett got close in the chin-deep water, and he had to make several throws to hook him and pull him off the canoe. The other man was easier to retrieve, but unable to speak. With one under each arm, Haskett waded to shore again, where medics and a helicopter team were waiting. The hunters were flown to a trauma center, with one of them in cardiac arrest.

Both survived. And Haskett calmly went back to work. But the Wildlife Officer role has a different focus and a wider range of responsibilities than that of a traditional game warden. National wildlife refuges and national monuments are both explicitly designed for conservation and preservation. The rules tend to be stricter regarding the harvesting of fish, game, or other natural resources.

Access for recreational purposes may be restricted and some types of transportation may be prohibited, such as motorized vehicles or boats. Individual refuges may be focused primarily on protecting a single species or tiny ecosystem, rather than dealing with the larger, surrounding ecosystem that state agencies are concerned with.

That preservation may involve deeper management of the ecology than would be expected of state wardens. Wildlife Officers are often concerned with wildfire protection and response. Subsistence fishing and hunting provide a large share of the food consumed in rural Alaska. The state's rural residents harvest about 18, tons of wild foods each year - an average of pounds per person. Fish makes up about 56 percent of this harvest statewide.
