Wild Friends Win Conservation Award!
The Wildlife Society (New Mexico Chapter) presented its 2003 Conservation Award to the Wild Friends, at the 37th Joint Conference of the New Mexico and Arizona Chapters, in Safford Arizona, February 2004. Wild Friends were recognized for their "Outstanding contributions to wildlife conservation in New Mexico." Wild Friends students adopt compelling wildlife issues, initiate legislative bills or memorials, and work to advance them through the legislative process. Solutions developed by the Wild Friends are a "win-win for both wildlife and humans," said Mark Watson, Awards Committee Chair and New Mexico Game and Fish habitat specialist. The Wildlife Society is a well-known national organization of professional biologists.
