Desert National Wildlife Refuge Complex
The Desert National Wildlife Refuge Complex is a set of wildlife refuges, administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, located north and west of Las Vegas, Nevada. The complex is a grouping of four wildlife refuges:
- Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge
- Desert National Wildlife Refuge
- Moapa Valley National Wildlife Refuge
- Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge.
All of these refuges are managed from a central office, have similar ecology, and similar management needs. Fish and Wildlife Service staff are shared between all of these refuges.[1][2]
