To manage wildlife successfully, we rely on science. We use scientific methods to study the animals.

Some questions we try to answer: Where do the animals prefer to live? What foods do they eat? We also use science to study wildlife populations. We want to know: How many of the animals are there? What are some threats to their survival?

Focus Wild Arizona Activity Sheets: From 2006-2013, each issue of the Department’s Arizona Wildlife Views magazine featured a new education article. These articles were intended for younger children and include some vocabulary and a fun activity. All of these articles are now available on our website.
