As of January, 2007, Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies, called Wildlife Action Plans, have been created and approved for all 56 states and territories in the U.S. These plans identify wildlife species and habitats of greatest conservation need, and prescribe strategies to preserve them for future generations of Americans. The plans were created by state fish and wildlife agencies together with a variety of local stakeholders including wildlife enthusiasts, scientists, environmental organizations, landowners and other members of the community. The challenge is that while we have these proactive, cost-effective plans, not everyone knows about them. They are a tremendous resource for organizations and agencies who work on natural resources issues. Volunteer networks and events are an excellent means for getting the word out to those who can benefit most!
Here are two strategies that the NC Teaming with Wildlife Coalition has utilized to get people involved in wildlife conservation and don't forget to visit our press room.
