§ 1000 Wildlife Conservation Research Funding

• •The department must use money for scientific research and field work.
• •It must also collect and share statistics and information.
• •The work covers birds, nests, eggs, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.

The wildlife department gives money to a university to study why a local frog species is disappearing and then shares the findings with local schools and landowners.

Because the law requires the department to fund research and share information about amphibians, it can pay for the frog study and then spread the results to help protect the frogs.
