What is a Certified Wildlife Biologist?
According to The Wildlife Society--It is the
only organization that certifies wildlife biologists. The 5-member
Certification Review Board performs the peer-review process evaluating
applicants educational and experiential background to deem them as Certified
Wildlife Biologists (those who have demonstrated expertise in the art and
science of applying the principles of ecology to the sound stewardship and
management of the wildlife resource and its environment).
In fact, the CWB and AWB
certification process is now trademarked. So, we(they) want to advertise this
unique certification program as THE premiere wildlife biologist certification
program and promote those practitioners who have met our stringent requirements
whenever possible. Please see the article in the most recent issue of The
Wildlife Professional.
