The Wildlife Society is an international non-profit organization committed to wildlife stewardship through science and education. Its mission is to enhance wildlife professionals' and students' abilities to conserve diversity, sustain wildlife productivity, and ensure the responsible use of wildlife resources and their habitats.
The Western Section of The Wildlife Society offers grants to students to support their participation in professional meetings, conferences, symposia, and other continuing education activities. These grants are aimed at promoting sustainable conservation of wildlife in the western United States, including California, Nevada, Hawaii, and Guam, by reimbursing partial expenses related to transportation, lodging, registration, and meals.
