Teaming With Wildlife

Teaming With Wildlife
Teaming With Wildlife is a national coalition of more than 5,000 organizations working together to prevent wildlife from becoming endangered. The coalition works to support increased public funding for wildlife conservation and associated recreation and education in every state. The Teaming With Wildlife Coalition includes wildlife biologists, state wildlife agencies, conservationists, hunters, anglers, birdwatchers, nature-based businesses, and many others who support the goal of restoring and conserving our nation’s wildlife.
Every state was required to create a Wildlife Action Plan. Wildlife Action Plans identify how we can prevent wildlife from becoming endangered. By focusing on conserving lands and clean waters, thereby providing healthy habitat, wildlife action plans have important benefits for wildlife and people. The plans access the condition of each state’s wildlife, identify the problems they face, and outline the actions needed to conserve them for the long term.
Nebraska’s Wildlife Action Plan, the Nebraska Natural Legacy Project, was rated one of the top ten most comprehensive action plans among all states by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Agency and the Doris Duke Foundation. Efforts are underway to increase the Nebraska State Teaming With Wildlife Coalition which currently has 250 endorsements. If your organization, business, or agency would like to join Nebraska’s Teaming With Wildlife Coalition by endorsing the project please contact Mark Humpert, non-game wildlife manager, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, at mark.humpert@ngpc.ne.gov. or contact Dave Titterington at the Wild Bird Habitat Store.

There is no cost to endorse the project, but the cost of what's at stake is very real.

Wingtip: Did you know that in Nebraska there are 15 endangered species and 13 species listed as threatened? The list includes: 7 bird species, 5 mammals species, 7 fish species, 2 insect species, 7 plant species, and 1 species each of reptile and mussel. This does not include the dozens of plant and wildlife species on the list of concerned or species of special interest that could become threatened or endangered in the near future if nothing is done.
