Leading wildlife conservation through commerce, the Exotic Wildlife Association (EWA) announces its 43rd Annual Annual Meeting & Fund-Raising Auction will be held on March 11, 2010, through March 13, 2010, at the Inn of the Hills Resort & Conference Center in Kerrville, Texas.
The event will attract hundreds of exotic animal enthusiasts from around the country, and focus fund-raising efforts and media attention on the EWA’s ‘Save the Species Campaign’ to help preserve the legal status of the Scimitar-Horned Oryx, Addax and Dama Gazelle antelope and many other exotics like Blackbuck and Axis deer.
…one of the most important conferences ever as we address the critical issue of saving three rare antelope species.
The annual EWA convention features exhibitors from around the hunting and wildlife industries, fund-raising auctions that include exciting exotic hunts, hunting gear and firearms; and other exciting events, such as the Eighth Annual Video Animal Auction, tropaeology school, educational seminars on wildlife management, ranch tours, golf tournament and much more.
“The Annual Membership Meeting is one of the largest EWA events of the year, and this year will be one of the most important conferences ever as we address the critical issue of saving these three rare antelope species,” says Charly Seale, executive director for the Exotic Wildlife Association. “Thanks to the management efforts of EWA members, these animals have rebounded by the thousands but the recent federal ruling puts these animals future in jeopardy. Hundreds of industry professionals, ranchers and sportsmen will be in attendance at the conference and we need everyone to pull together to preserve the legal status of these animals.”
