Environmental Education Update and

Human Dimensions of Natural Resource Conservation Broadcast

Topic: The Urban Wildlife Conservation

Program: Looking Back, Moving Forward

The Urban Wildlife Conservation Program was launched in 2013 and

formally established in Service policy in 2014. Simply stated, the policy

tells us that all Service programs must 1) work to expand their efforts to

increase the relevancy of conservation in urban areas, 2) create more

opportunities for people in urban areas to engage in fish and wildlife

conservation, and 3) establish methods for evaluating intended

outcomes, and modify practices to ensure success.

During this broadcast, Danielle Ross-Winslow, Delissa Padilla, and

Angelina Yost will share notable successes and challenges encountered

over the past five years, along with plans for using what we have learned

to inform the UWCP’s path for the future. Following these reflections,

presenters will take questions from viewers through the Livestream chat

room or by email to broadcast@fws.gov.
