The Western Governors’ Association (WGA) recently signed an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Interior and Department of Agriculture to form a Task Force on Collaborative Conservation.
According to WGA, “The Task Force will serve as a forum for federal, state, and territorial representatives to collaboratively and effectively respond to the land, water and wildlife challenges facing Western landscapes through shared expertise and dialogue, strategic resource and capacity coordination, information and data sharing, and joint problem-solving."
