Damage caused by wild pigs is one of the greatest concerns to wildlife biologists and managers today. Wild pigs have the potential to cause ecological and economical destruction far surpassing any other invasive exotic vertebrate. The adaptive and prolific nature of these animals along with their capabilities for widespread devastation places their management as one of the top priorities for wildlife scientists.
The International Wild Pig Conference is the only forum in the world that provides federal, state, and private stakeholders a venue to discuss biological, financial, and social implications specific to wild pig subsistence in our ecosystems. The conference will assemble experienced managers as well as those new to the wild pig industry in a professional, educational atmosphere.
MAY 1–4, 2022 Pathways: Human Dimensions of Wildlife is a conference and training program designed to address the myriad issues that arise as people and wildlife struggle to coexist in a sustainable and healthy manner
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. Forest Service (USFS), Tribes, and states acknowledge that public support will be required to identify, implement, and evaluate management options that sustain the health of free-roaming wild horse and burro herds (WHBs) on healthy rangelands. The Free-roaming Equid and Ecosystem Sustainability Network (FREES) established a new public forum to facilitate open dialogue and build positive relationships to re-engage all Americans in collective actions to ensure the health of free-roaming equids, western rangeland ecosystem health and sustainability, and the principles of multiple-use.

Is it okay to feed wildlife in winter?
ByTERRY MESSMER•JAN 1, 2022 Many people believe feeding wildlife particularly in winter will help local wildlife during tough periods. But there are compelling arguments against feeding wildlife, including building dependencies, habituating animals to humans, increased aggression of animals, higher road mortality and higher window mortality.
