Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon selected the seven members of the state's first migration corridor working group, representing a range of interests from agriculture, industry, wildlife, conservation, hunting, and recreation.
The working group's formation is taking place about a year after the governor issued an Executive Order to preserve Wyoming’s migration corridors that are particularly vital to the survival of mule deer and pronghorn antelope. The order seeks to balance the economic needs of landowners and industries for the benefit of migrating animals and human communities. The establishment of local working groups helps create investment at the local level for ensuring the viability of wildlife populations across the state.
Governor Gordon said, "This Executive Order plowed new ground for the nation’s efforts to develop an approach for managing corridors and protecting our economy. This first local group will also be a leader and I urge people interested in serving to apply." Wyoming currently has three designated wildlife migration corridors with the possibility to designate more in the future.
