Land & Wildlife Report is an independent educational project focused on real-world wildlife conflict, land management, and evidence-based understanding.
We publish practical field guides and clear research breakdowns to help landowners, hunters, and everyday people understand what’s happening where human activity and wildlife intersect — and what actually works.
Our approach is simple:
- evidence over opinion
- outcomes over ideology
- clarity over noise
Every major claim is backed by studies, agency data, or documented field outcomes. When the evidence is uncertain or debated, we say so plainly.
Editorial Standards
Land & Wildlife Report may use affiliate links where relevant, including Amazon Associate links. Affiliate relationships do not determine article topics, conclusions, recommendations, or evidence standards.
Articles are written to explain what the evidence supports, where uncertainty remains, and what practical tradeoffs readers should understand before making decisions.
Land & Wildlife Report exists to make wildlife conflict easier to understand — and harder to oversimplify.
Who This Site Is For
Land & Wildlife Report is built for readers who want practical guidance without political noise or vague advice.
It is for landowners dealing with recurring wildlife problems, hunters and conservation-minded readers trying to understand access and management decisions, and curious readers who want plain-English explanations of the evidence behind human-wildlife conflict.
About the Author
Land & Wildlife Report is written and maintained by Chris Mitchell, an environmental science graduate with formal training in public lands management, watershed management, and wildlife biosecurity.
Chris is currently pursuing a Master of Science in Environmental Policy and Management, with a concentration in Fish and Wildlife Management. His work focuses on the intersection of land use, wildlife conflict, conservation policy, and practical management decisions.
His background includes coursework and certifications through American Public University, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the University of Maryland, with focus areas spanning water resources, public lands, fisheries, disease ecology, and human-wildlife conflict.
Land & Wildlife Report reflects that approach: research first, plain language second, and practical guidance always. The goal is to help readers understand what the evidence says, where uncertainty remains, and what decisions actually look like on the ground.
