Forum on Western Big Game Migrations at University of Wyoming

Forum on Western Big Game Migrations at University of Wyoming

 

The Wyoming Migration Initiative and the Ruckelshaus Institute will host an emerging issues forum, "Sustaining Big Game Migrations in the West: Science Policy and People," at the University of Wyoming Marian H. Rochelle Gateway Center on November 9 and 10. Big game migrations traverse myriad jurisdictions and land ownership types, requiring coordination across a diverse regulatory and policy landscape. The result is tremendous complexity, but also an opportunity to learn and collaborate. The forum will bring together ranchers, outfitters, scientists, agency leaders, non-profits and others to identify the opportunities and gaps in public policy and private initiatives for ungulate migration management and conservation in the West. The forum will open with a half-day session the afternoon of November 9 and conclude with an all day session on November 10. Registration, an agenda and more information about the forum is available online on the Wyoming Migration Initiative website.
