Arizona’s “Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy” (CWCS) was accepted by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s National Acceptance Advisory Team in April 2006. The CWCS is the culmination of a 2-year effort during which Arizona Game and Fish Department solicited input from numerous experts, resource professionals, federal and state agencies, sportsmen groups, conservation organizations, Native American tribes, recreational groups, local governments, and private citizens and integrated those ideas and concerns into a single, comprehensive vision for managing Arizona’s fish, wildlife, and wildlife habitats over the next ten years. |
