Overview

Who We Are In response to a growing need for a body committed to wildlife management in Australia and New Zealand, the Australasian Wildlife Management Society (AWMS) was established in May, 1988 when it held its first conference in Canberra. AWMS actively encourages the development, dissemination and adoption of applied scientific research in wildlife management. AWMS is a professional society that promotes the study and application of scientific wildlife management in the Australasian region, with members from Australia, New Zealand, and around the world. Members come from all sectors of wildlife management and a wide range of institutions and private organisations and include wildlife research scientists, wildlife managers, wildlife practitioners, policy developers, educators and students. AWMS aims to influence policy and management decisions through the provision of clear, explicit and pragmatic advice on options for wildlife management and associated risks. Best Student Presentation At the annual AWMS conference, all students can be judged in the Best Student Presentation. The Best Student Presentation award is a highlight of the AWMS conference, recognising and encouraging outstanding achievements by student participants.
