title graphic - Making a Difference for Plants and Animals U.S. Geological Survey biologists are making a difference to the living resources of the Earth. Their work can affect policy and legislation, as it has in the Conservation Reserve Program, which benefits both farmers and wildlife when grasses are introduced into highly erodible cropland. Biological research is also responsible for restoring lake trout to the Great Lakes, safeguarding the health of native salmon and trout, and establishing new nesting sites for the world's most endangered sea turtle.
