North American Wildlife Conservation Model

The North American Wildlife Conservation Model is a framework that guides how wildlife is managed and protected across Canada and the United States. It emphasizes sustainable use, science-based management, and shared responsibility among government, organizations, and citizens. Key principles include public ownership of wildlife, hunting and fishing regulations to maintain healthy populations, and the idea that wildlife should be used wisely rather than exploited. This model has helped recover many species and ensures that future generations can enjoy and benefit from healthy, thriving ecosystems.
