The Institute was set up in 1982 as a premier national agency to meet the urgent needs for scientific planning, management and research in the field of wildlife conservation and management.

WII was accorded autonomy in April 1986, which furthered its pace of growth. With many countries in south and south-east Asia region regularly sending their personnel to its training programmes, WII is already considered an important regional centre for training and education in wildlife management and conservation.
