USDA conducts an animal damage control program that employs an integrated pest management approach to prevent or reduce wildlife damage to agriculture, natural resources, facilities and structures, and for the safeguarding of public health and safety. This programmatic EIS examines 13 alternatives ... the analyses focus on the wildlife species affected, losses associated with wildlife damage, societal values or attitudes, and impacts on biological, economical, and physical aspects of the human environments. The Current Program Alternative, which uses an integrated pest management (IPM) approach to address wildlife damage problems, is the preferred alternative.
