Abstract:
Wildlife conservation in North Carolina in the past was generally a system of local self-government, but recognition of wildlife protection in the state began early. Local laws were many and diverse, and steadily the North Carolina General Assembly adopted state-wide regulations on conservation. With the development of state conservation laws and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, conservation in the state focuses on regulation, enforcement, education, research, and management.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, along with the Wildlife Resources Commission and NC State University, have developed a new animal tracking program called Candid Critters. The objective is for citizens to place camera traps on approved public lands in order to capture photographs of the flora and fauna. This will help track animal behavior, migration, and more. By March 2017, they plan to have the program in all 100 counties.

The golden-winged warbler, native species to North Carolina, has been on the decline since the 1960’s.

Recently, migration patterns have been incorporated into the research parameters, and collaboration between several South American researchers has been key.
