It is important that all Arizonans understand the role AZGFD plays in wildlife conservation in the state. To help provide targeted messaging about the importance of wildlife conservation to all audiences, the Department established a dedicated website www.azwildlifehero.com.
Conservation wasn’t a priority in this country until the early 1900s, when forward-thinking conservationists began pushing the need to protect wildlife and their habitats. Now, the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation is considered the world’s most successful, helping sustain wildlife species and habitats through well-founded science and active management.
Every time you see Arizona wildlife, you get a glimpse of the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s mission in action. Our passion is conserving and protecting all Arizona wildlife species — from four legs to four fins and everything in between. Our work takes us all over the state, creating safer habitats, rescuing and caring for injured wildlife, and monitoring and restoring native populations.
