The Center is a major Federal research facility, responsible for providing the basic answers needed for the intelligent conservation and management of wildlife resources. The four-page, illustrated document summarizes in very general language the mission and focus of the Wildlife Research Center, including: the role of predators the environment, pesticides and other environmental pollutants, animal-human-environment interactions, and wildlife welfare.
Excerpt from The Denver Wildlife Research Center, Highlights Report, 1990 The 1990 dedication of the newly renovated chemistry laboratory at the Center gave notice of the high level of commitment by the administrator of aphis and his top management to this center and its mission. The new facilities enhance the development of analytical methods that, in turn, support all aspects of the Center's work, from maintaining existing control tools to developing alternatives. Through this facility as well as other resource investments, the Center is now meeting the rigorous requirements of Good Laboratory Practices in data it provides to the us. Environmental Protection Agency. Aphis' Science and Technology division signed a long-term lease with Colorado State University as the first major step in modernizing the Center's animal facilities and in moving its research capability to that campus. A master plan for the facilities was completed, and architectural designs for some of the buildings were started. Close cooperative ties between universities and the public sector offer a cost-effective way to explore the latest scientific breakthroughs and assess their possible applications to vertebrate pest management.

"In the calendar year 1964, the main efforts of the Division of Wildlife Research were directed toward consolidation of recently expanded programs on pesticide-wildlife relations and nuisance-animal control. A modest increase in activities associated with the captive propagation of rare and endangered birds was accommodated, and a great deal of planning laid groundwork for future work with threatened species. There was no change in purpose and function of the Division"--Page 1
