Every two years since the mid-1950's, the International Union of Game
Biologists (IUGB) has brought together international wildlife biologists,
forestry scientists, veterinarians, game managers, hunters and others with
an interest in game or wildlife biology. Recent conferences have
attracted 300 to 400 participants from about 40 countries. The IUGB
encourages the exchange of scientific and practical knowledge in the field
of game and wildlife management, the broad field of game biology and
international cooperation in game and wildlife management. The aim of the
conference is to create a bridge among scientists, wildlife managers and
authorities and those studying the human dimensions of wildlife
management.
