Educating, inspiring, and assisting individuals and organizations to value, conserve, enhance, manage, and protect wildlife and wildlife habitat.

For a century, the Arizona Wildlife Federation has worked on behalf of Arizonans like you to advocate for science-based wildlife management, access to our state's incredible public lands, and provide opportunities for people to experience the outdoors

Since the founding of the organization, 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.
