The Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge Complex is the largest refuge complex in the state of Mississippi. Over 100,000 acres (400 km2) of refuge lands on seven refuges, including 13,000 acres (53 km2) of refuge-managed Farmers Home Administration lands, provide vital habitat for fish and wildlife in the Delta region. The complex includes seven refuges: * Yazoo National Wildlife Refuge - Established 1936 * Hillside National Wildlife Refuge - Established 1975 * Morgan Brake National Wildlife Refuge - Established 1977 * Panther Swamp National Wildlife Refuge - Established 1978 * Mathews Brake National Wildlife Refuge - Established 1980 * Holt Collier National Wildlife Refuge - Established 2004 * Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge - Established 2004 The Headquarters Office for Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge Complex is located on Yazoo National Wildlife Refuge. ==History== In January 2004, the Consolidated Appropriations Act changed the name of the Central Mississippi Refuges Complex to Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The legislation established two new refuges in the Complex – Holt Collier NWR and Theodore Roosevelt NWR, and included provisions to design and construct the Holt Collier Environmental Education and Interpretation Center in the south Delta region. The two new refuges were named to honor President Theodore Roosevelt and the legendary African-American sportsman and hunting guide, Holt Collier. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge Complex」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
