The Endangered Species Act and climate change; wildlife adaptation planning; challenges and opportunities for state wildlife agencies and much more! Guest Dennis Figg, Legendary Missouri Conservationist!

Show me adaptation in Missouri, the 'Show Me' state: Doug talks with Dennis Figg, longtime wildlife conservation leader from the state of Missouri. Learn how climate change will fundamentally alter future wildlife management. Listen in as Doug and Dennis list their top 3 challenges facing the wildlife community. They also discuss the limitations of the Endangered Species Act in the face of climate change and the overall approach of threatened and endangered species. Learn about Missouri's unique wildlife and Dennis' decades working to protect this region. They also discuss the role of science in wildlife management and the challenges of developing effective policies from field research. They also discuss the overall capacity of wildlife professionals to deal with the threat of climate change and how climate change will radically alter our perceptions of invasive species. Dennis shares his experiences from his early days as a wildlife conservationist , all the way to his evolution into one of the country's leading voices on climate change adaptation. We also discuss: funding opportunities for adaptation; mandatory climate change training; understanding vulnerability assessments; getting the public behind these emerging concepts; and finding Bull sharks in the Mississippi River.
