National Fish and Wildlife Conservation Congress

The first ever National Fish and Wildlife Conservation Congress was held May 27th to 31st, 2012 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. This Congress provided a unique opportunity for the local, state, provincial and federal levels of government, NGOs, First Nations, Inuit, academia, scientists, fish and wildlife biologists, media and the general public to come together and discuss the challenges facing the fish and wildlife populations in both Canada and the United States, and to develop recommendations for future action. Although much of the focus was on Canadian issues, the Congress was both sponsored and attended by a significant number of key American conservation partners and delegates, who participated in deliberations within a continental framework.
