Stateline Interviews Wildlife for All About Role in Passing SB5

We’re proud to share that Wildlife for All was featured in a recent syndicated article by Stateline, “As states rethink wildlife management, New Mexico offers a new model,” which highlights the groundbreaking reforms in New Mexico’s wildlife governance. Our Executive Director, Dr. Michelle Lute, shared insights on how Senate Bill 5 (SB5) represents a transformative shift toward more inclusive, science-based, and democratic wildlife management—setting an important example for other states to follow.

This legislation is a significant step toward inclusive, science-based wildlife management. As Michelle Lute, PhD, noted, “That’s the biggest game changer… That’s the legislation we’ll be pointing to as a model in future years.”

At Wildlife for All, we believe that wildlife conservation should reflect the diverse ways people connect with nature. That’s why we are thrilled to see New Mexico’s Senate Bill 5 (SB5) signed into law, marking a transformative shift in how the state manages its wildlife.

We are proud to have been part of the coalition that championed this reform and look forward to working with other states to implement similar changes.
