Wildlife for All challenges the status quo regarding wildlife management from state wildlife agencies in the United States. The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation focuses on providing a harvestable surplus of game animals rather than conserving all species and ecosystems. It’s time for a change. This is one of the best nationwide organizations I’ve seen in decades. They are worth getting behind. Visit their site via the three links below.

What Is Successful Wildlife Management?

Successful wildlife management supports the biological and ecological factors each wildlife species is dependent upon for a healthy population. It’s about putting the welfare of each species first, long before the interests of human stakeholders.

Currently, state wildlife agencies use wet finger population estimates to justify the killing of wildlife by hunters and trappers. They manage the killing of wildlife, not the welfare of wildlife. In Colorado, more than 94% of residents do not hunt, fish or trap. Wildlife are part of the public trust, owned and appreciated by all of us. State wildlife agencies must change and begin managing wildlife in a way that actually benefits wildlife.

Any wildlife species, including black bears, should benefit from a wildlife management plan from a state wildlife agency. Unfortunately, this is not the case in Colorado or many states throughout the country. Colorado has two primary goals when it comes to black bear mismanagement: 1. Hunter Satisfaction. 2. Reduce Human/Bear Conflicts. The welfare of black bears has never been the focus at Colorado Parks and Wildlife. It’s time for a change.
