Led by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, the Idaho Teaming with Wildlife Coalition includes wildlife biologists, hunters & anglers, birdwatchers, hikers, nature-based businesses and other conservationists.
Idaho’s Diverse Lands, Waters, and Wildlife
Idaho is a Rocky Mountain state known for its scenic beauty, diverse landscape, and abundant natural resources, including the largest block of designated wilderness with the longest un-dammed river in the conterminous U. S. flowing through it. Idaho’s fish and wildlife area as diverse as the landscape they occupy: the gray wolf, grizzly bear, greater sage grouse, and chinook and sockeye salmon exemplify Idaho’s wildlife diversity.
Idaho’s Wildlife Strategy takes an ecologically–based landscape approach to planning, combined with a fine–scale approach of identifying species–level issues and conservation needs for 229 species. The strategy promotes proactive conservation actions to ensure cost–effective solutions, and if we invest in it today, we can conserve Idaho’s wildlife for future generations!
A Powerful Coalition to Conserve our Wildlife Heritage
Almost 60 organizations and businesses from across Idaho have come together to spread the word about the Idaho Wildlife Action Plan and to secure the funding it needs for success. In June, we were excited to announce an endorsement from the Idaho Cattle Association. After several months of discussion, the Idaho Cattle Association voted to adopt a resolution in support of the goals and objectives of the Teaming with Wildlife coalition. You too can help by joining the coalition, engaging organizations in your community and urging our elected officials to support the federal State Wildlife Grants Program and legislation providing long-term, dedicated funding for wildlife conservation and related education and recreation.
