World Wildlife Day

This year’s World Wildlife Day will celebrate forest-based livelihoods and seek to promote forest and forest wildlife management models and practices that accommodate both human well-being and the long-term conservation of forests, forest-dwelling species of wild fauna and flora and the ecosystems they sustain, and promote the value of traditional practices and knowledge that contribute to establishing a more sustainable relationship with these crucial natural systems.

Consider supporting Alabama’s wildlife through the Alabama Nongame Wildlife Fund check-off box on the state income tax form. It provides citizens a way to donate all or a portion of their state tax refunds for the benefit of nongame wildlife.
