    What criteria should Congress use when deciding to rename federal wildlife refuges after individuals?

  2. 02

    How might renaming this refuge to honor Jocelyn Nungaray affect public awareness of the refuge's conservation mission and history?

  3. 03

    Should wildlife refuge naming decisions be made through individual bills, or would a standardized process better serve the public interest?
