The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has collaborated with the private company Conservation Vision on their new project: Wild Harvest Initiative. That initiative looks at the full benefits of sustainable wild animal harvests nationally.
Sara DiRienzo, public affairs officer with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, said it is important for them to understand how wild harvested food contributes to the food system in Wyoming and what would happen if the amount of people harvesting food declined. One of the several effects of that would be less wild food available for people, said DiRienzo. So, that s something that we d like to learn more about and just about how wild food harvest fits in with a lot of food and security initiatives that were involved with.
