Join the Biometrics Working Group for the webinar, Backstage at the USFWS: How Research can Better Support the ESA Listing Process, at 12:00 pm ET on July 22, 2026. The webinar will describe how empirical research contributes valuable information used in the Endangered Species Act listing process. Species Status Assessment practitioners will give an overview of the listing process, describe where and how science plays a role (specifically through the Species Status Assessment), and provide practical examples of what kinds of information are most valuable. We will also identify priority research needs and discuss specific ways The Wildlife Society members and other researchers can assist with this important process.
