The Wildlife Management Institute (WMI) has launched its new Website, still located at www.wildlifemanagementinstitute.org. The contemporary look is more straightforward and easier to navigate. As the WMI mission statement indicates: "Although methods of operation have changed since the Institute's inception, the objectives remain essentially the same." The new Website, produced with the considerable assistance of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, is one of those changed operational methods. It was undertaken to improve WMI delivery of useful, user-friendly information to the benefit of wildlife resources, its professional management and responsible uses.

On the Website is timely information about the 72nd North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference, March 20-24, 2007, in Portland, Oregon. The information will be updated weekly or so until the event in March.

Also offered are important links to several programs that WMI participates in, such as the Mule Deer Working Group and the Conservation Leaders for Tomorrow Program. As before, the latest "Outdoor News Bulletin" and issues for the past year are accessible. And the most recent information on WMI publications is available. Several Webpages are still under construction, but scheduled for completion soon.

Please feel free to offer your feedback to the Webmaster [info@wildlifemgt.org]. (jr)
