As states rethink wildlife management, New Mexico offers a new model
"The sweeping law enacted in March puts New Mexico at the forefront of a growing movement to rethink states' traditional model of wildlife management."
"State lawmakers have given the agency a new name, a new mission, new leadership and a boost in funding to expand its role."
New Mexico is leading a significant change in wildlife management by overhauling its Department of Game & Fish, which faced persistent dysfunction. The newly enacted law introduces a revamped mission, enhanced leadership, and increased funding, aiming to transcend traditional reliance on hunting and fishing permits to safeguard a broader range of species. This reform is seen as a potential model for others as states nationwide start to reconsider their wildlife governance and funding structures, inspired by New Mexico's pioneering efforts.
