The recommendations offered here in Wildlife for the 21st Century represent a general agreement of the Wildlife Conservation Partners and are, in our judgment, necessary to successfully resolve these and other issues and ensure the continued success of wildlife and wildlife management in America. While unity is a goal of the partners, each reserves the right to establish independent positions on any issue. In addition, not all partners necessarily support each and every position or recommendation. Together, we stand ready, as never before, to assist in this critically important work.
