The support and involvement of local citizens are critical to the ultimate success of wildlife conservation. Through outreach to the public, the Fish and Wildlife Service is sharing information about the values of wildlife and the habitats we share, including benefits that may not be readily apparent. As a result, teachers, citizens' groups, land owners, businesses, and local officials are becoming more involved in protecting and enhancing their wildlife resources. Without the involvement of all sectors of the American public, recovery of endangered and threatened species will not be possible. This edition of the Endangered Species Bulletin highlights some examples of recent public outreach and involvement efforts and the important results they have achieved.
