SUMMARY:Webinar: Injurious Wildlife Listing under the “Lacey Act”
DESCRIPTION:History and Effectiveness of Injurious Wildlife Listing under the “Lacey Act”\n\n\n\nPresented by: Susan Jewell\, Injurious Wildlife Listing Coordinator\, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs part of the original federal law known as the “Lacey Act” passed in 1900\, injurious wildlife has been amended several times\, but the purpose has always been to protect the United States from the introduction of invasive and otherwise harmful wildlife. Congress first gave the authority for overseeing injurious wildlife to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and later to the Department of the Interior. Injurious listing prohibits the importation of wild vertebrates\, crustaceans\, and mollusks that can cause harm to wildlife resources\, humans\, and other U.S. interests. However\, most people know about a different provision of the “Lacey Act\,” which is about trafficking of wildlife and plants. This presentation will explain what the “Lacey Act” is and the difference between the injurious and trafficking provisions. It will emphasize how the service focuses on adding high-risk species to the federal injurious list before they become established and how effective that has been in preventing the establishment of those injurious animals. \n\n\n\nSusan Jewell\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSusan (Su) Jewell is the Injurious Wildlife Listing Coordinator for the Department of the Interior’s U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\, based in the headquarters in northern Virginia. In her capacity\, she coordinates the regulatory listing of harmful wildlife species as injurious\, which prohibits their importation. She is an authority on the history of injurious of injurious wildlife listing and recently published a summary of the history since 1900 and her evaluation of how effective injurious listing is. Prior to her 11 years working with invasive wildlife\, she spent 11 years with the Service’s Endangered Species program\, 12 years in the Everglades studying Everglades health\, alligators\, wading birds\, and fisheries. Su holds a B.S. in Wildlife Biology from the University of Vermont and a M.S. in Systematics and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Connecticut. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThere are continuing education credits available for purchase for this webinar from Certified Crop Advisers\, International Society of Arboriculture\, Society of American Foresters\, Society of Ecological Restoration\, and The Wildlife Society.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nPurchase CEUs
