The objective of the Vertebrate Pest Conference and the resulting Proceedings is to help disseminate factual and ecologically sound information concerning human-wildlife conflicts, animal damage problems, promoting better management and control methodology, and minimizing adverse ecological effects. 

The Conference and Proceedings is a forum for sharing knowledge and experiences among researchers, administrators, and practitioners in vertebrate pest control and wildlife damage management and we are excited for your participation.
