Aldo Leopold, a founder of the Arizona Wildlife Federation
Since the founding of the organization in 1923, one of AWF’s primary goals has been the establishment and maintenance of a Commission form of wildlife administration, free of political influence. We continue to work with the Arizona Game and Fish Department and Commissioners to assure that science-based best practices are used in the management of wildlife and habitat in Arizona.
Our objectives include:
- Promoting legislation dealing with conservation of our natural resources, the protection of the rights of Arizona outdoorspeople, and the improvement of outdoor recreation.
- Vigorous and impartial support of enforcement of all state and federal conservation laws pertaining to the management of fish and wildlife.
- Encouraging conservation education in our schools.
- Promoting responsible outdoor recreation, including hunting and fishing, through scientific principles and the practice of multiple use of the public lands of Arizona.
- Engaging individuals in hands-on conservation efforts that enhance and restore wildlife habitat.
