2020 Wildlife Viewing and Nature Tourism Academy: Presenter Application

Academy Theme: Practical Training for Practitioners

As part of continued efforts to promote the exchange of information and resources among agencies and organizations interested in wildlife viewing and nature tourism, the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies’ WVNT Working Group is sponsoring its third Academy. The Academy aims to provide a high “takeaway value” for participants through outstanding keynote addresses and presentations, dozens of useful breakout sessions, and informational networking events.

Focal topics include:

Human Dimensions and Diversity
Outreach and Communications
Best Practices and Ethics
Birding and Wildlife Trails
Finances and Cost Effectiveness

Operations

Your presentation proposal should reflect the Academy’s theme as well as the needs and interests of the wildlife viewing community, including professionals working in fish and wildlife sciences, tourism, and education.
