A brief description of the wildlife habitat program, policy, or practice:
NMSU has a Burrowing Owl program to protect this endangered species. We create nesting sites when their nests need to be relocated due to construction on campus.
http://jornada.nmsu.edu/node/237 is the website for the original Burrowing Owl study that helps us continue to take care of this little protected bird on our campus.
We also have a Waterfowl Protection Program to protect the ducks and geese at one of our ponds on campus. We oversee their protection and make sure that their food supply is adequate as well as monitoring the area around the pond to be sure that it is compatible with the waterfowl's needs.
None

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Early 2012 we remodeled an landscape area around a building next to our duck pond. The plants we planted gave the ducks an area to nest safely and away from the public that visit the pond.
