Each state has a department of fish and wildlife and an associated commission or board that manages wildlife populations through hunting, fishing, habitat protection, and other methods. These departments issue regulations and policies that have profound impacts on wildlife. Communicating with department officials as well as commission or board members is an important way of advocating to protect wild animals. This database provides contact information and links to meeting schedules you can use to get in touch with your state’s wildlife officials, commissioners, and board members about issues affecting wildlife in your state.
