What does the acronym IPaC stand for?
IPaC stands for Information, Planning, and Conservation. The IPaC system is designed for easy, public access to the natural resources Information for which the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has trust or regulatory responsibility. Examples include Threatened and Endangered species, migratory birds, National Refuge lands, Coastal Barrier Resource Units, and the management of invasive species. One of the primary goals of the IPaC system is to provide this information in a manner that assists people in Planning their activities within the context of natural resource Conservation. The IPaC system also assists people through the various regulatory consultation, permitting and approval processes administered by the Fish and Wildlife Service, helping achieve more effective and efficient results for both the project proponents and natural resources. Hence the name, Information, Planning, and Conservation (IPaC) system.
