Our Wild World

What is the importance of our wildlife, especially predators, to our ecosystems? Healthy ecosystems means a healthy planet, which in the end, means healthy populations- people and wildlife, and ultimately the survival of all of us. With science, data, and expertise, new updates and recent findings, and also just plain commons sense and asking the right questions, we can begin to common ground between what may seem opposing camps. Over the past century a lot has changed, for the better, yet we still find ourselves losing wildlife in some places in ever increasing numbers, where in others we see successes. So, what’s the overall outlook? What are the changes that have been accomplished? What are those that yet require reform? What are our successes and how can we learn from both these and our failures?
