This award program provides up to $15,000 to recipients to help spur innovative research on humane, nonlethal tools and techniques for wildlife conflict management and for studying wildlife.

The Christine Stevens Wildlife Awards—named in honor of the organization’s late founder and president for over 50 years—was created to stimulate and support efforts to (1) devise new, nonlethal techniques and strategies and test existing products for the purpose of humanely remedying wildlife conflicts and (2) improve methods of wildlife study. With this award program we aim to honor Mrs. Stevens’ legacy and inspire a new generation of compassionate wildlife scientists, managers, and advocates.
