Conserving — not killing — wildlife should drive Wisconsin’s natural resources strategytinyurl.com/yffk58v5Board decisions about wildlife are legally supposed to rely on a combination of science and values. And here lies the problem: Whose values count most in determining Wisconsin’s fish and wildlife priorities, regulations and policies? Interest groups promote their values by pressuring the governor over board appointments and lobbying on pending votes. DNR staff also have a habit of listening to some interest groups and not others. For many, this is an existential battle, driving passionate and at times uncivil behavior.The budget of the Wildlife Management Bureau that manages hunted animals dwarfs the budget of the Endangered Resources Bureau. Yet the number of hunters continues to dwindle while the number of those who enjoy other recreational opportunities in the state’s natural areas continues to grow.Clarifying the DNR’s mandate around a top priority of conserving all wildlife for all people will provide a unifying direction for the floundering board and strengthen the department’s biodiversity mission.The shift of the DNR toward a more ecologically focused agency protecting Wisconsin’s animal diversity does not mean eliminating hunting or fishing — simply that our relationship with animals and nature is evolving. Some unpopular decisions might be needed when those decisions repair damage to ecosystem diversity and health. ... See MoreSee Less

The cull of the wild: Management for industry, not wolvestinyurl.com/mskatrs6Taxpayers have already shelled out more than $6 million for what many scientists, conservationists, and British Columbians have condemned as an “inhumane” slaughter of wolves that has dubious scientific support as a conservation measure for endangered caribou.The government of British Columbia’s controversial wolf cull program, which has killed 1,709 wolves since initiated in 2015, has been extended another five years.This program will continue to incur a grave additional cost — the suffering and lives of hundreds, if not thousands more wolves. This price is ethically and ecologically unjustifiable.The level of human-caused wolf mortality in B.C. can only be described as staggering. In addition to the number of wolves dying at the hands of lethal control programs, the B.C. government estimates that some 1,200 wolves are killed annually because of recreational hunting and trapping, all sanctioned and encouraged by the province.Although killing wolves might provide temporary relief for caribou, long-term and permanent recovery of endangered herds is an unlikely outcome. At best, culling wolves is wildlife management masquerading as conservation in an effort to avoid doing what is clearly necessary, i.e., protect caribou from the ecological harm caused by people and industry.Owing largely to combined adverse effects of industrial forestry and climate change, habitat required by many mountain caribou herds is unlikely to be viable in 50 to 100 years. With this outlook, is such a large experiment in wolf control, given its limited signal of efficacy and an unrelenting appetite of industry, worth the carnage? ... See MoreSee Less
