Most countries consider wildlife a natural resource which belongs to the people of that nation. Governmental agencies are created to oversee wildlife management, enforce policy and, in some cases, provide public education. In addition to national agencies, some countries also have state or provincial wildlife departments.

These agencies are not only a rich source of general information on wildlife, they are the best place to find out about rules and regulations specific to that country or region.
