2010 Teaming with Wildlife FLY IN

Mark your calendars and plan to join us in the nation's capital to support funding to implement the state wildlife action plans, the country's core program for preventing wildlife from becoming endangered in every state.

• State Wildlife Action Plan Partnership Award

  The State Wildlife Action Plan Partnership Award recognizes the outstanding collaboration of both a state fish and wildlife agency and a partner agency or organization in addressing conservation priorities and implementing management strategies associated with a state’s wildlife action plan.  In addition, state agencies and partners may qualify for this award for outstanding partnerships to advance the mission of Teaming with Wildlife, to support increased public funding for wildlife conservation and related education and recreation needs. Defined as a fundamental element for successful conservation strategies, collaboration between state agencies, stakeholders and partners has been a critical component of state wildlife action plan development, continued implementation, and effective revision.
   

  Nominations for the State Wildlife Action Plan Partnership Award can be submitted by state fish and wildlife agency leadership and personnel, conservation partners, Teaming with Wildlife State Coalition Leaders, Association of Fish and Wildlife Agency (AFWA) staff and leadership and AFWA Regional Association leadership.

  
   

• Teaming With Wildlife Member Coalition Achievement Award
  The Teaming with Wildlife Coalition Member Achievement Award is designed to recognize the outstanding efforts and achievements of a member organization of the over 6,200 member Teaming with Wildlife Coalition. Member organizations that have shown outstanding support for a state’s TWW Coalition and/or of a state’s wildlife action plan qualify for the Coalition Member Achievement Award.  The success of critical monitoring and research projects, habitat conservation work, outreach and conservation education efforts, state coalition recruitment and activation, and many more activities are dependent on the work that each TWW member organization accomplishes annually and is fundamental to the success of State Wildlife Action Plans.

  Nominations for the Teaming with Wildlife Coalition Member Achievement Award can be submitted by Teaming with Wildlife State Coalition Leaders, State Fish and Wildlife Action Plan Coordinators and members of the Teaming with Wildlife Steering Committee.
