Fourteen U.S. island territories each have their own unique makeup of wildlife species as well as challenges that are heightened on islands like invasive species, vulnerability to natural disasters and funding. In the November/December issue of The Wildlife Professional, our cover story takes us to the U.S. Virgin Islands, which are about 40 miles from Puerto Rico. TWS Associate Editor Joshua Rapp Learn traveled there for his story, and he takes us through instances where conservation seems impossible to places where conservationists are making a difference.

Also in this issue are articles on The Wildlife Society’s Leadership Institute, the need for a cultural and political shift for a field safer from sexual harassment, university waterfowl programs and much more.
