Founded in 1936, the Idaho Wildlife Federation is Idaho’s oldest and
largest statewide conservation organization promoting the conservation
of Idaho’s wildlife heritage and legacy of sporting opportunities. IWF
quickly became the state’s leading voice and influence to curtail decline
and rebound game and wildlife populations. Two years after our
founding, IWF successfully campaigned for the passage of the Citizen’s
Initiative of 1938, establishing an independent commission to guide
wildlife management by the North American Model. Through the shared
goals of our affiliate clubs, we sought out to return habitat and wildlife
through ecologic restoration, education, and policy change.
Today, the Idaho Wildlife Federation is the voice of Idaho’s wildlife,
habitat, public lands and sporting interests. In the state legislature we
serve a daily presence to advance proactive legislation for the benefit of
wildlife and access, and defeat bills that would roll back fish and wildlife
protections, privatize wildlife, and seize our shared public lands for sale
or special interest exploitation.
We also engage communities by involving local constituents to create
local solutions. By coordinating boots on the ground grassroots efforts,
IWF fosters and promotes a general and continued movement for the
conservation, restoration, protection, and scientific supervision of all
game, fish, fowl, and other wildlife in the state.
