FSML: The Sevilleta Field Research Station: Expansion of Research & Educational Facilities for Multi-Organizational Environmental Program

该项目将与美国大自然保护协会（TNC）和美国鱼类和野生动物管理局（FWS）合作，支持新墨西哥大学位于美国新墨西哥州中部的塞维利亚塔野外研究站的研究和教育设施的大规模扩建。FWS正在野战站附近建造一座新建筑，该建筑将容纳FWS和野战站行政办公室、一个新的公共游客中心、一个研究/教育实验室和一个带厨房的会议/车间设施。该项目将主要提供支助，为实验室和会议设施配备设备，并为塞维利亚塔国家野生动物保护区的实地工作和教育提供两辆车辆。新设施将通过扩大40%的可用研究空间和加倍现有的会议/工作坊空间，减轻现有野外研究站在研究和会议活动中使用者的沉重压力，并将大大加强公众和K-12学童的环境教育公共宣传计划。新墨西哥大学、TNC和FWS之间的三方合作将继续促进所有三个组织在新墨西哥这一独特地区促进研究和公共教育方面的共同政策目标。

This project will support a major expansion of the research and educational facilities at the University of New Mexico's Sevilleta Field Research Station in central New Mexico, USA, in collaboration with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). The FWS is constructing a new building near the field station, that will house the FWS and field station administrative offices, a new public visitor center, a research/education laboratory, and a conference/workshop facility with kitchen. The project will provide support primarily for equipping the laboratory and conference facilities, and for providing two vehicles for field work and education on the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge. The new facilities will relieve the heavy pressure of users on the existing field station in both research and conference activities by expanding available research space by 40% and doubling the existing conference/workshop space, and will greatly enhance the public outreach programs for environmental education of the general public and K-12 schoolchildren. This tripartite between UNM, TNC, and FWS will continue to foster the common policy goals of all three organizations in promoting research and public education in this unique region of New Mexico.
