Grizzlies, Public Voices, and Mule Deer: WGFD's Brian Nesvik – Part Two of a Special Series

Wild Things & Wild Places

In this captivating second installment of our two-part series, we once again welcomes Brian Nesvik, the Director of Wyoming Game and Fish, for an enlightening discussion guided by Joshua Coursey.

Central to this episode is the state of the Grizzly Bear in Wyoming. Brian Nesvik brings his expertise to the table, offering an in-depth update on the status of these majestic creatures. Where does Wyoming stand in terms of Grizzly Bear management and conservation?

But the conversation doesn't stop there. A key concern highlighted in this episode is the noticeable decline in public attendance and input at wildlife management meetings. Why is public engagement waning, and what can be done to reverse this trend? Nesvik delves into the importance of community involvement in shaping the future of wildlife in Wyoming, emphasizing the need for more voices to join the conversation.

Furthermore, the episode also explores the measures being taken to protect one of Wyoming's iconic species, the Mule Deer. With their numbers under threat, understanding the steps being taken to ensure their survival is crucial for anyone interested in the future of Wyoming's diverse ecosystems.

Led by our guide Joshua Coursey, this episode is not just a discussion but a journey through the complexities of wildlife management. As we navigate these topics, we invite listeners to explore further by visiting the Wyoming Game and Fish website, where more information and resources on these critical issues are available.
