NAUFWP DIVERSITY COMMITMENT
The National Association of University Fisheries and Wildlife Programs affirms its commitment to deconstruction of barriers to Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, and People of Color, LGBTQ+ and other underrepresented groups in the fish and wildlife profession.

NAUFWP acknowledges that Fish and Wildlife programs must recognize their historical lack of diversity relative to gender and People of Color. Our diversity initiatives represent a start in reconciling these historical issues and how we must do a better job in developing university programs that recognize lack of recognition of the value of diversity in education as well as our profession. The following represents some literature that will be useful for those involved in Fish and Wildlife to engage in broach diversity issues at their universities and also in contemplating what each of us can do to move the needle in creating more inclusive programs.
