Description

The Wyoming Governor’s Big Game License Coalition funds conservation projects benefiting wildlife and habitats across Wyoming. Administered by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department with conservation partners, the program uses special license-sale proceeds to support five funding committees: elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep, moose, and all wildlife. Supported work includes habitat enhancement, conservation easements, migration corridor protection, wildlife-friendly fencing, population management, research, and conservation education.

Each committee sets species-specific priorities. Research can address migration, habitat selection, disease, population monitoring, and wildlife management questions. Habitat and land-protection projects can improve seasonal ranges, reduce movement barriers, and protect important landscapes. The all wildlife committee supports other fish and wildlife, including pronghorn and State Wildlife Action Plan priorities, while retaining flexibility to consider other conservation needs.
