The AFC Flag Expeditions Program (formerly WNAG Flag Expeditions)
was created to make possible the field study and artistic rendering
of endangered species or habitats deserving of greater public attention.
There is a strong emphasis on the study of unique, threatened habitats,
and rare or endangered species in remote regions. AFC Signature
Members can apply to obtain financial support and the privilege
of carrying the AFC (WNAG) flag on their journeys to these distant
and ecologically important areas of the planet. More
