For more than 80 years, The Wildlife Society (TWS) has been influencing the future of wildlife and wild places for the benefit of generations to come. 

Founded in 1937, the organization's mission is "to inspire, empower, and enable wildlife professionals to sustain wildlife populations and habitats through science-based management and conservation." The Wildlife Society enhances its members' networking and learning opportunities, professional and career development, and provides numerous ways for them to get more involved in creating a better future for wildlife and their habitats.   

Their more than 11,000 members include: 

• Scientists, managers, educators, technicians, planners, consultants and others who manage, conserve, and study wildlife populations and habitats

• Students who are pursuing degrees and experience that will enable them to become the next generation of wildlife professionals 

• Supporters who will help spread the word and take action on important wildlife and habitat issues

The Wildlife Society is an international organization committed to addressing national and international issues that affect the current and future status of wildlife in North America and throughout the world.
