The educational cohort withthe most participants was 4 years ofcollege, with 5.4 million recreationists.The educational cohort with the fewestrecreationists was 11 years or less, with1.2 million.The participation rates by race variedgreatly. Approximately 11 percent ofWhites and 5 percent of other racesexcept African Americans and AsianAmericans took trips to wildlife watch.In contrast, 3 percent of African Americansand 2 percent of Asian Americansparticipated. Of the total 22.5 millionaway-from-home participants, 92percent were White, 3 percent wereAfrican Americans, 1 percent wereAsian Americans, and 4 percent wereother races.About 1.4 million recreationists wereHispanic, 6 percent of all participants.Approximately 4 percent of the U.S.Hispanic population took trips toengage in wildlife watching.

2001–2011 Comparison of Wildlife-Watching ParticipationComparing 2006 and 2011 wildlifewatchingmeasures finds no statisticallysignificant change in the number oftotal participants, days, or expenditures.The increase in people photographingwildlife around the home waspartially balanced by the decrease inpeople feeding wildlife. Away-fromhomeobservers and feeders decreasedin number, but not enough to affectoverall away-from-home wildlifewatching. The number of days of awayfrom-homewildlife watching did notchange for any category. Similarly, theamount spent for wildlife watching wasstable for all categories in 2006 and2011.From 2001 to 2011 the number ofparticipants increased 9 percent. Allcategories of around-the-home wildlifewatching increased or stayedlevel, led by the 82 percent increase inphotographing wildlife. Overall awayfrom-homewildlife watching participantnumbers stayed level, with theincrease in photographers somewhatcountered by the decrease in feedingwildlife. Similarly, the overall numberof away-from-home days did notsignificantly change, with the increasein photographing days and decreasein feeding days roughly balancingeach other. Trip-related expendituresincreased significantly, but not enoughto propel overall expenditures significantlyhigher. Equipment purchases, thelargest component of wildlife-watchingexpenditures, did not increase ordecrease significantly.Number of Wildlife Watchers(Millions)Days of Away-From-HomeWildlife Watching(Millions)Wildlife-Watching Expenditures(Billions of 2011 dollars)48.851.154.966.171.1 71.8372352336200120062011200120062011200120062011U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Census Bureau 2011 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation 51
