2 Wildlife as Public Trust Resource Several key landmark Supreme Court rulings have made it clear the wildlife belong to no one but are to be held in trust by government for the benefit of present and future generations. This Public Trust Doctrine has become the legal bedrock for government to establish regulatory authority over wildlife Federal agencies recognize that the states possess broad trustee and police powers over fish and wildlife within their borders, including fish and wildlife found on federal lands within a state. 43 C.F.R Through federally levied excise taxes on fishing and hunting equipment, states are able to leverage non-federal funds at a ratio of 3:1 ($3 federal dollars/$1 state dollar) in the name of fish and wildlife management Nevada Department of Wildlife s statutory authorities and responsibilities are outlined in NRS (wildlife) and 488 (boating) C2
3 North American Model of Wildlife Conservation Seven Principles: Wildlife is held in the public trust Regulated commerce in wildlife Hunting & fishing laws created through public process Hunting & fishing opportunities for all Non-frivolous use of wildlife Wildlife is an international resource Scientific management of wildlife C3 3

14 Conservation Education Division Conservation Education (19 positions) Hunter Education Angler Education Archery Education Wildlife Education And Urban Wildlife Media and Public Relations Volunteer Program C14
15 Conservation Education Program Areas Hunter Education Using 300 NRA certified volunteer instructors, NDOW certifies 4,000 hunter students annually. Angler Education Staff coordinates clinics, seminars, and Free Fishing Day events to over 8,500 youth and adult participants. Archery Education 30 volunteer instructors state wide, going to over 100 schools with active National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) in the state of Nevada across 11 counties. Wildlife Education Averages 1,000 opportunities a month (school groups, community programs, park visitors). C15
16 Conservation Education Program Areas Urban Wildlife Program Federal U.S. Fish and Wildlife grants do not fund urban wildlife or human- wildlife conflict activities. Urban development issue, not a hunting or wildlife management issue Current activity is limited to response to public safety threats. In the 2017 Legislative session, two seasonal positions were created to handle the large volume of calls regarding human wildlife conflicts. Education, outreach and response. Information campaigns and seasonal positions. The Urban Wildlife Coordinators spend their time educating public on the behaviors of wildlife, how to prevent conflicts from arising and steps they can take to minimize the chance of an unpleasant wildlife encounter. Log, record and map calls and incidents. Contact media with current issue to assist public. GIS mapping framework developed for documenting human-wildlife conflicts to better understand geographical areas of concern. C16
17 Conservation Education Program Areas Volunteer Program In 2016 NDOW volunteers donated an estimated 21,000 labor hours on projects and drove close to150,000 miles. This donated labor and miles is valued at almost $900,000 that allowed the Department to bring in over $1,750,000 in federal funds with no cost to the state. The matching funds alone are vital to NDOW s mission, but it is only a portion of the value volunteers contribute to the conservation of Nevada wildlife. Volunteer Project Examples: Bighorn Sheep Trap and Transplants Sage-grouse lek surveys Planting projects Raptor surveys Fish Electroshocking Water Development Builds Marlette Lake Spawning C17
