Led by the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Division and the Montana Wildlife Federation, the Montana Teaming with Wildlife Coalition includes wildlife biologists, hunters & anglers, birdwatchers, hikers, nature-based businesses and other conservationists.
Montana’s Diverse Lands, Waters, and Wildlife
With over 90 million acres of land, 40,000 lakes and ponds, 98,000 miles of streams and rivers, and over 600 vertebrate species, Montana has been tagged “The Last Best Place.” Montana’s hunting, fishing and wildlife viewing traditions are one of the reasons people call Montana home or return time and again to visit the state’s great natural places. Montana’s Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy identifies many conservation concerns that could imperil this great wildlife heritage. By working together and investing in the strategy today we can address these concerns proactively before they become issues requiring regulatory action.
A Powerful Coalition to Conserve our Wildlife Heritage
More than 100 organizations and businesses from across Montana have come together to spread the word about the Montana Wildlife Action Plan and to secure the funding it needs for success. YOU 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 funding for wildlife conservation and related education and recreation.
