State Wildlife Action Plan public meeting in Phoenix on Feb. 25
The Arizona Game and Fish Department will webcast a public meeting on Arizona’s State Wildlife Action Plan beginning at 3 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 25, 2010. The meeting will be held at the department’s Phoenix headquarters at 5000 W. Carefree Highway and is the last in a series of public meetings that have been held in different locations across the state.
The meeting will include a series of presentations, each followed by an open discussion period. The meeting will end at 7 p.m. or sooner if all agenda items and open discussions have been completed. The review will focus on three main areas of the plan: the species of greatest conservation need (including the criteria used to determine their status and their spatial distributions); the spatial distribution of stressors to wildlife (including a vulnerability assessment for climate change); and delineation of landscapes of conservation concern.
Arizona’s SWAP, previously known as the Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy, builds on and complements existing plans and wildlife conservation projects and provides a vision for managing Arizona’s fish, wildlife, and wildlife habitats. It outlines strategies and conservation actions aimed at promoting partnerships and coordinating efforts among all who hold a stake in conserving Arizona’s wildlife.
