Why is Wisconsin Wildlife Conservation Important?

Wisconsin has lost more than 50% of its original wetlands, impacting nesting and feeding grounds for waterfowl. Less than 1% of Wisconsin’s native prairie and savanna ecosystems remain.

Wisconsin loses an average of 10,000–15,000 acres of farmland and natural habitat each year to urban sprawl.

There are more than 100 species of birds at risk and need help through Wisconsin wildlife conservation efforts. These also Include grassland birds like bobolinks, Henslow’s sparrows, and upland sandpipers, all suffering from habitat loss.

Monarch butterflies, a key pollinator, have declined by over 80% in the past 20 years; Wisconsin is a critical part of their migration route.

“Whether it’s a family barn or a piece of public land, it only survives if someone takes care of it. That’s what we teach our kids — and that’s why I hunt with them.” – A Wisconsin Mother and Co-Owner of Lapp Construction November 28, 2025 – Wisconsin — For one Wisconsin mother, teaching her children to hunt is about far more than filling a freezer or following a seasonal tradition.
