The Association for Conservation Information (ACI) is a non-profit organization of natural resources communicators. We serve to further natural resource conservation and exchange. We are made up of professionals representing state, federal and Canadian wildlife conservation and parks and natural resource agencies as well as private conservation organizations. ACI was organized in 1938 and incorporated in 1984, and our member professionals play a major role in providing natural resource, environmental, wildlife and other information and education to the public through a variety of means, many of which are continental in scope. ACI trains and informs the staffs of member agencies and provides forums to exchange ideas, new concepts, and to improve skills and craftsmanship to its ever growing membership of hundreds of individuals belonging to dozens of agencies.
