The U.S. Geological Survey Ecosystems Mission Area (EMA) has been working on conservation science for decades, providing research for the sustainable management of ecological resources.
EMA addresses issues such as drought, invasive species, and wildlife diseases, including efforts in Hawaii to examine coastal hazards, save native bird populations, and restore forests after wildfires.
