Wildlife is ‘coming back’

The Natural Resources Conservation Service says wildlife populations are rebounding with the help of farmers and ranchers.

NRCS Chief Jason Weller told farm broadcasters Tuesday the past 18 months has been historic for the country’s wildlife.  “We’re starting to see huge changes in the landscape in terms of wildlife populations, in particularly for some at risk species, and to me that really puts pay to the notion that voluntary, collaborative investments in conservation absolutely work.”
