| About WAFWA |
Representing Member Fish and Wildlife Agencies Since 1922
The Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA) represents 23 states and Canadian provinces, spanning from Alaska to Texas and Saskatchewan to Hawaii - an area covering nearly 3.7 million square miles of some of North America's most wild and scenic country, inhabited by over 1500 premier wildlife species.
WAFWA is a strong advocate of the rights of states and provinces to manage fish and wildlife within their borders. The Association has been a key organization in promoting the principles of sound resource management and the building of partnerships at the regional, national and international levels in order to enhance wildlife conservation efforts and the protection of associated habitats in the public interest.
We hope this site allows you to become better acquainted with the people of WAFWA, our mission, and our passion for wildlife. We encourage you to look around the site and be sure to check out the photos from our award-winning photographers. |
