Wildlife Management in Uncertain Times is a key opportunity for those working in wildlife conservation, to meet, gather, and converse around emerging information on conservation monitoring, research, and innovative tools to support meaningful wildlife management.  Student and early career researchers drive much of this innovation, making it vital to encourage and support them throughout their studies.

To make the conference affordable for students from universities and colleges across Manitoba, we are offering a highly subsidized student registration fee which includes participation in activities across all three days of the conference. Donations go directly into helping us subsidize this conference for students.  

You can donate here.
