“What does this mean in the context of what we’ve already done? From the hunting and fishing perspective, as part of the original conservationists, we’ve been doing things for biodiversity and conservation for a long time... We have a role to play in this conversation,” said Chris Horton, senior director of Midwestern states and fisheries policy for the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation.
On February 18, Outdoor Life published an article about the hunting and fishing community's statement on the Thirty by Thirty Initiative (30 by 30 Initiative) to ensure 30 by 30 policy proposals recognize hunting and fishing as sustainable activities that enhance biodiversity and conservation of our natural resources.
