近年来，美国鱼类和野生动物管理局（FWS）被曝出一名高级官员操纵涉及濒危物种的科学结果，该机构正寻求恢复其研究工作。目前正在国会审议的一项预算申请可能会提供11-14%的预算增长，其中包括加大对气候变化对物种影响的调查资金。“毫无疑问”，该机构需要更多的资源，加州大学戴维斯分校的野生动物生物学家约翰·伊迪说。特别是在气候变化方面，有太多的不确定性。这是一项巨大的科学事业。”
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.There's" no question" that the agency needs more resources, says John Eadie, a wildlife biologist at the University of California, Davis." Particularly with climate change, there's so much uncertainty," he says." It's a huge science undertaking."
