Arizona Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit
The Arizona Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit (est. 1950), is a partnership among the Arizona Game and Fish Department, the University of Arizona, the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Wildlife Management Institute.
Arizona scientists are involved in regional, national and international fish and wildlife research. Their work includes developing new methods to manage fish and wildlife species of arid lands; captive breeding techniques for threatened and endangered fishes found no where else in the world; methods to reduce impacts of invasive species on native aquatic ecosystems; effects of climate change on arid land species; cutting-edge genetic techniques for managing fish and wildlife populations; and development of new fish and wildlife survey techniques.
Graduate students working at the Arizona Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit can earn Master's and Ph.D.'s in Wildlife and Fisheries Conservation and Management. We strive to ensure students work closely with university, state and federal scientists and managers so they receive a thorough education in the fish and wildlife management techniques required for the 21st century.
Unit scientists offer a variety of fish and wildlife technical assistance to state and federal cooperators and private organizations. This assistance has included workshops on fish and wildlife monitoring techniques, conservation genetics and techniques for working with the public on fish and wildlife issues; assistance and advice with agency threatened and endangered species recovery groups; technical consultation on fish and wildlife issues for scientists and managers in other countries; and review of data and reports from management agencies and universities.
