Wildlife Programs Benefit from Online Giving May 1

You can help "Keep Idaho Wonderfully Wild" by participating on Thursday, May 1st, in Idaho Gives, a statewide day of online giving. Donors can learn about and designate funds to benefit wildlife management and conservation programs, as well as other nonprofit projects. "Idaho's wildlife populations are increasingly threatened by habitat loss, disease and climate change. They need our help to survive and thrive," said Ann Dehner, Executive Director of the Idaho Fish & Wildlife Foundation. Support from Idahoans is vital to ensuring that healthy wildlife species continue to be a part of Idaho's natural resources. The Idaho Fish & Wildlife Foundation will participate in Idaho Gives for the second year of this statewide fundraising event. Projects can be found online at http://idahogives.razoo.com/Idaho-Fish-And-Wildlife-Foundation. Idaho has over 10,000 species of wildlife that include those that are endangered or threatened, game and nongame, as well as native plants. They continue to be a valued part of Idaho's natural world that contributes significantly to the state's quality of life. Idaho holds some of nature's most beautiful landscapes and vital habitats that sustain the state's fish and wildlife resources for each generation. The Foundation's work focuses on habitat restoration and preservation projects, public access, conservation education and legacy gifts from donors. Through statewide project funding, the Foundation promotes a greater understanding of the value of Idaho's fish and wildlife resources, appreciation of the complexities of wildlife management, and habitat preservation.
