The secret to AWC’s success is our commitment to practical, on-ground land management informed by world-class science.
One of the distinguishing features of AWC is the extent to which we invest in world class science. AWC employees more than 50 field ecologists.
Learn moreAWC has developed a framework for measuring the ecological health of its sanctuaries that can be applied consistently across a broad array of landscapes, habitats and species.
