Native fish study/Arizona Working together for Arizona’s wildlife To develop the action plan, the Department used various administrative and technical teams, stakeholder meetings, responsive management surveys, and a public input process. Ecoregion Workgroups consisted of Department speciesand habitat- professionals and cooperating federal, state, and tribal resource managers. The Department held Wildlife summit workshops and open forum public meetings and accepted comments via the internet. The Department used extensive outreach to inform and encourage participation from the public and partners, including 20 staff presentations, 28 presentations to external agencies, stakeholder councils, and non-government organizations, four media news releases, and email subscriber announcements to over 16,000 individuals and organizations. Four Wildlife Summit Workshops were held around the state, with 54 participants providing input into developing the major components of the plan and an additional 418 constituents providing input via an online Wildlife Summit survey. Forty-two constituents participated in a series of eight public meetings held statewide. “The state’s Action Plan is the most exciting effort I have seen in many years that is designed to better manage Arizona’s wildlife and the places in which they live. The plan used an unbiased approach to identifying threats to our wildlife and provides concrete actions that can be undertaken to ensure that those threats do not lead to the disappearance of these valuable resources.” - Bruce Taubert, Assistant Director, Wildlife Management Division Arizona Game and Fish Department.

Arkansas Wildlife Action Plan What is a wildlife action plan Congress asked each state to develop a wildlife action plan, known technically as a comprehensive wildlife conservation strategy. These proactive plans examine the health of wildlife and prescribe actions to conserve wildlife and vital habitat before they become more rare and more costly to protect. Arkansas snapshot Geography: Arkansas is a study in contrasts, with dramatic mountains in the Ouachitas, vast alluvial plains in the Mississippi River delta, and deep, rich hollows in the Boston and Ozark mountains. Wildlife highlights: The species diversity is rich and the citizenry takes wildlife matters seriously: over 85 percent of the public in a recent poll declared that they are concerned or very concerned about the impacts of human activity on wildlife. actions necessary to prevent the species from declining. This information was organized in a format that can be easily updated as the state improves its knowledge “I have supported full funding for State Wildlife Grants in past appropriation cycles and we are proud to have a wildlife champion like Senator Lincoln in the Arkansas delegation. As president of the National Governors Association this year I hope to move a resolution for a dedicated funding mechanism for species of greatest conservation need. - Mike Huckabee, Governor of Arkansas Arkansas’s planning approach Expert Arkansas biologists gathered over the course of a year to assemble a list of 369 species prioritized by greatest conservation need. Participants also identified threats associated with each of these species’ habitats, and identified conservation Bayou DeView near where Ivory-billed woodpecker was first spotted in 2004 of little-known species and determines what is needed to protect the overall health of habitats that house and feed many of these species. Special care was taken to communicate to the public during this process and to listen to and incorporate constituents’ views.
