The Granite State’s agency responsible for the management, protection, and conservation of wildlife resources is a key component of its natural resource infrastructure. Established to safeguard the state’s diverse fauna and their habitats, the organization oversees hunting, fishing, and trapping activities, ensuring sustainable populations for future generations. Its purview extends to both game and non-game species, reflecting a commitment to overall biodiversity.
The agency’s activities provide multiple benefits, ranging from recreational opportunities to crucial ecological services. Regulated hunting and fishing contribute significantly to the state’s economy while helping to manage wildlife populations, preventing overgrazing and disease outbreaks. Conservation efforts also play a vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems, including forests, wetlands, and waterways, benefiting both wildlife and human communities. Furthermore, the organization engages in research and monitoring to understand population trends and adapt management strategies accordingly, informed by historical data and evolving environmental conditions.
