Welcome to the Chronic Wasting Disease Alliance's
web site.
This site is a joint project of the Boone and Crockett
Club, Mule Deer Foundation, and Rocky
Mountain Elk Foundation. These non-profit wildlife conservation
organizations formed the Chronic Wasting Disease Alliance in January
2002 to address CWD. Other organizations have since joined the Alliance.

|
|
The mission of the CWD Alliance is to promote responsible and accurate communications regarding CWD, and to support strategies that effectively control CWD to minimize its impact on wild, free-ranging cervids including deer, elk, and moose.
|
|
The CWD Alliance and
its partner organizations are
committed to providing timely, scientifically accurate information
regarding chronic wasting disease, its impacts on wildlife
and humans, and recommendations for its control. |
