How can I help ensure wildlife habitat conservation?
Despite wide-spread success in sustaining and restoring fish and wildlife populations, anti-hunting interests are making efforts to restrict the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation and the benefits that hunters and anglers bring to the perpetuation of wildlife and wildlife habitat conservation. This panel discussion will look at the national effort to move away from America’s existing sustainable management model, examples of how the fight over wildlife management reform is playing out at the state-level, and how hunters and anglers can help ensure their ongoing role as the primary funders of wildlife management and conservation.
