| The
California Watchable Wildlife Committee (CWWC) celebrates
the state’s wildlife and diverse habitats by acknowledging
and elevating the value of wildllife viewing to benefit individuals,
families, communities, and industries while fostering awareness
and support for wildlife and habitats.
Comprised
of representatives from government agencies, non-profits,
and private businesses, the CWWC strives toward educating
the public by coordinating and promoting ethical wildlife
watching. Six million Californians watch wildlife, tripling
the number since 1995, and hundreds of thousands of tourists
watch wildlife as part of their travels to the state. Nationally,
66.1 million US residents watch wildlife, contributing to
the $38 billion spent on viewing expenditures. California
alone is regarded as one of the best wildlife viewing locations
in the nation. |
