Project WILD is concerned with providing information, as well as helping students to evaluate choices and to make responsible decisions. In short, Project WILD's mission is to help students learn how to think, not what to think about wildlife and the environment.

It also represents the work of many within the fields of education and natural resource management from across the country. K-12
