Budget request tackles habitat changes

US wildlife agency bids to revitalize research with focus on effects of global warming.

The US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is looking to get back on its research feet, in the wake of revelations in recent years that a top official manipulated scientific results involving endangered species. A budget request now wending its way through Congress could provide an 11–14% budget increase, including beefed-up funding to investigate how species will be affected by climate change.
