Wildlife and Habitat Roundtable
The Wildlife and Habitat Roundtable (WHR) is a forum that fosters information sharing on important topics between CPW and the non-consumptive wildlife user community on issues related to the state’s wildlife and habitats. Topics discussed by the WHR include species and habitat conservation, scientific research, policy and legislation, and emerging topics pertaining to wildlife. The Wildlife and Habitat Roundtable consists of member organizations representing non-consumptive user groups such as birders, botanists, wildlife rehabilitators, nature photographers, and conservationists.
The Roundtable is built so that information will flow in two directions:
From CPW to the WHR representatives, who will pass it to their respective communities, on topics such as wildlife management, research studies, legislative updates, and emerging issues.
From the WHR community to CPW, providing a conduit to the agency for grassroots information and ideas such as observations of wildlife population changes, challenges facing parks, conservation workplans, habitat impacts, and suggestions for and reactions to CPW proposals.
