The FY2027 President's Budget requests $417.0M for Nat’l Wildlife Refuge System, within Interior's Resource Management account. That is down 20% on the FY2026 figure of $522.0M, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2026–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | enacted | $522.0M |
| FY2027 | request | $417.0M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Interior discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Interior's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Operates the National Wildlife Refuge System, managing wildlife and habitat, visitor services and recreation, law enforcement, conservation planning, and facility maintenance across national wildlife refuges.
Extracted from Fish and Wildlife Service, p. 25. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
Contracts funded by this line
71 linked contracts. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
