Policy affects all aspects of fish and wildlife conservation, management, and research. Natural resource professionals should have a good working knowledge of current administrative policy and legislation that influence their work. This course addresses a subset of the most current topics in fish and wildlife conservation policy (e.g., climate change, energy), reviewing their history and evaluating the scientific, political, and socio-economic forces that shape them in the United States.
