About IWC
International Wildlife Crimestoppers is a non-profit corporation dedicated to reducing the illegal taking (poaching) of North America’s fish and wildlife resources through the exchange of information with anti-poaching organizations. Members are agencies or organizations whose primary responsibility is the collection and passing on of information relating to violations of laws and regulations regarding the fish, wildlife and habitat in their state or province. Currently, the association is made up of U.S. states and Canadian provinces with an Executive Board consisting of environmental, outdoor and enforcement enthusiasts.
- Educating the public on what poaching is, what to look for and how report an incident.
- The establishment of a grant program to provide current members up to $2,000 for “Anti Poaching Educational” display trailer equipment/upgrades. These trailers help to educate the public about poaching activity.
- Financially increase state or provincial reward programs for information leading to an arrest and conviction of a major wildlife violation.
- Providing a grant program for conservation law enforcement agencies to purchase wildlife decoys.
- Placing wildlife informational exhibits at various international airports.
- Marketing our mission at large outdoor venues.
- Partnering with youth education programs to provide instruction on the ethical use of our natural resources.
- Partner with like-minded organizations, businesses, and individuals that support sustainable use of our natural resources.
As a non-profit corporation, IWC does not receive any state or federal funding and depends solely on financial support from memberships, public and corporate donations, as well as fundraisers and private and individual donations.
Protecting the natural and cultural resources is an ongoing mission for conservation law enforcement officers and International Wildlife Crimestoppers. This cannot be accomplished without support. Support of IWC through a donation will help end flagrant violations of game and fish laws and ensure our wildlife is protected.
