About the UPDATE

Mission Statement

With increased pressures on our world's plant and animal life, the success of endangered species recovery programs is more important than ever. The major downfalls faced by professionals involved in these programs, however, are based in miscommunication—scientists do not talk to policy makers and policy makers do not consult scientists. The Endangered Species UPDATE, an independently funded quarterly journal published by the University of Michigan's School of Natural Resources and Environment, recognizes the paralyzing power of poor communication. The UPDATE's primary goal is to bridge the chasm between policy and science.
