National Wildlife Refuge System

Fernandez

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service named Juliette Fernandez as the new chief of the National Wildlife Refuge System in Hawaii, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and the Pacific Islands, including America Samoa, Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Fernandez is currently the project leader for the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge Complex, which includes four refuges along the Columbia River near Vancouver. Her previous experience includes managing a refuge near Nogales on the international border of Arizona and Mexico, leading projects that prioritize equitable access to green spaces, and fostering meaningful connections with diverse communities in urban areas. Her expertise in natural resource and conservation management has been demonstrated at refuges across the country and in the field, as a regional supervisor for the National Wildlife Refuge System in Arizona and New Mexico and nationally. Fernandez will oversee 67 national wildlife refuges, four marine national monuments and one national monument, two conservation areas, and one waterfowl production area. Fernandez begins her tenure later this year, working with a team of wildlife and natural resource management professionals. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service works with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats.
