APWE is committed to ensuring the proper and humane handling and care for captive wildlife, and to promote the most effective and responsible safety standards for both the public, and the captive wildlife participants.

APWE provides professional wildlife educators the opportunity to network, exchange, and disseminate information regarding new skills, current knowledge, research and other information pertinent to the field of professional wildlife education presentation, to advance the field of wildlife education as well as the management and care of captive wildlife.
