[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Nov. 15, 2004[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Give your opinions online for a 10-year conservation plan

[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]PHOENIX - If you were in charge of taking care of our state's wildlife, how would you run things? Now, you have a chance to give the Arizona Game and Fish Department your opinions on everything from conserving native and endangered species to supporting outdoor recreation to educating Arizonans about our state's wildlife.
"We want to hear from everyone who's interested in conserving Arizona's wildlife for generations to come," says Jeff Sorensen, resource planner for the department. "That's why we're offering an online survey through our Web site, where Arizonans can give us their input for a new 10-year Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy."
All 50 states, the U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia are putting together similar conservation plans in a coordinated effort. Congress requires a Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy from each state wildlife agency, in order to remain eligible for State Wildlife Grant funding.
Hunting, fishing, wildlife watching, and off-highway vehicle and watercraft recreation invest billions of dollars into Arizona's economy. This conservation strategy will help ensure dedicated federal funding for wildlife and habitat management activities in Arizona. Last year, our state received $1.4 million in State Wildlife Grant Program funding.
"We want to continue to make sure we receive this funding, so our state, its wildlife, and its residents can benefit," says Sorensen.

For more information about the Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy, go to the department's Web site: [url "javascript:ol('http://www.azgfd.gov/cwcs');"]azgfd.gov/cwcs[/url] or provide your opinions at the [url "javascript:ol('http://ideasciences.com/phpBB2/azgfsignup.php');"]survey site[/url]. The survey will be available until Nov. 30. The department plans to submit Arizona's strategy to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in July of next year.[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 1]The Arizona Game and Fish Department prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, disability in its programs and activities.
