Inside the June 2021 Edition

Virginia, Ohio, and Missouri have all begun work with the Wildlife Management Institute (WMI) and other partners to engage with broader constituencies to increase relevancy to their states’ residents. The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies’ (AFWA) Blue Ribbon Panel on the future of fish and wildlife conservation recommended that state agencies seek ways to engage and serve broader constituencies as a way to broaden political and financial support. In response, WMI and AFWA coordinated development of strategies and tactics to overcome barriers to engaging broader constituencies that were compiled into the Fish and Wildlife Relevancy Roadmap. WMI then began working with six “pilot” states under a 2020 Multi-State Conservation Grant (MSCG) to implement the roadmap and launched a Conservation Relevancy Community of Practice website. The three new state projects expand these relevancy efforts.
