AGRI - PREDATORY ANIMAL & RODENT CONTROL
101-4600
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
NRS 567.010-090 authorizes the State Predatory Animal and Rodent Committee (PARC) to cooperate with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the control of predatory
animals, crop-destroying birds, and rodents within the State of Nevada. PARC (state) and the USDA (federal) collectively form the Nevada Wildlife Services Program (WS). The Nevada WS
Program also works cooperatively with the Nevada Department of Wildlife to conduct predation damage management projects to protect Nevada's natural resources such as mule deer, sage
grouse, and bighorn sheep and helps protect the public from large predators such as mountain lions, black bears, or coyotes.
The mission of the Nevada WS program is to provide leadership in managing problems caused by wildlife. Wildlife Services recognizes that wildlife is an important public resource greatly
valued by the people of Nevada. By its very nature, however, wildlife is a highly dynamic and mobile resource that can damage agricultural and industrial resources, pose risks to human
health and safety, and affect other natural resources. The program carries out the state and federal responsibility for helping to solve problems that occur when human activity and wildlife are
in conflict with one another.
Statutory Authority: The Animal Damage Control Act of March 2, 1931, as amended (46 Stat. 1486; 7 U.S.C. 426-426b) and the Rural Development, Agriculture and related agencies
Appropriation Act, 1988 (P.L. 100-202) authorizes the USDA's Wildlife Services program to form cooperative programs with state agencies.
