AMERICAN
PHEASANT AND WATERFOWL SOCIETY
Intent and Purpose of The American Pheasant and
Waterfowl Society
To promote the rights and interest of the members to
keep and rear pheasants, waterfowl, and other upland aquatic
and ornamental birds.
To collect and distribute pertinent and scientific data
and information relating to keeping and rearing of
pheasants, waterfowl, and other upland aquatic and
ornamental birds by means of its magazine.
The corporation advocates and encourages public
appreciation and understanding of wildlife conservation and
promotes the breeding of endangered upland game bird and
waterfowl species in their pure forms. These topics are
discussed in the magazine and at the annual
conventions.
To promote and encourage cooperation between members,
other aviculturists, government officials-agencies, and zoos
throughout the world in regard to the propogation,
management and conservation of rare and endangered
species.
To promote the conservation of rare and endangered
species by actively participating in international efforts
to protect and preserve wild habitats and animal
populations, as well as captive propagation programs.
To advance public education on the need for wildlife
conservation and protection, and to assume leadership in the
captive propagation of rare and endangered animal
species.
While the American Pheasant and Waterfowl Society
bergrudges no one his right to keep mutations and hybrids
and listing them on the species list or in the classified
ads, this should not be perceived as an endorsement thereof
by APWS, which is not consistent with the interpretation of
the Society's mission.
The views expressed in the APWS
magazine are for information only, and do not necessarily
constitute the policy of the Directors or
members.
