3rd International Wildlife Management Congress
incorporating the 16th Australasian Wildlife Management Society Conference
1st - 5th December 2003The 3rd International Wildlife Management Congress was held at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch from 1-5 December 2003. The Wildlife Society, a wildlife science and educational association based in the USA, co-hosts these Congresses every few years. Each Congress is located in a different part of the world and is run jointly with one or more local partners; the first two Congresses were held in Costa Rica (1993) and Hungary (1999). This was the first time a wildlife management meeting of this magnitude has been held in the Southern Hemisphere.
The theme of the 3rd International Wildlife Management Congress was "Ki te raki ki te tonga: ki uta ki tai - From the north to the south: from mountains to sea". The Congress theme reflected the broad scope of papers presented, and highlights wildlife management issues common to the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
