Hunters and anglers in Michigan and other states say theyâre ready to work with the new administration and new Congress on key conservation issues.
Director of Sporting Advocacy with the National Wildlife Federation Aaron Kindle says sportsmen and sportswomen have unique insights on conservation. He explains they see firsthand the impacts of wildlife and habitat management, as well as the effects of climate change. Kindle said Not very many people get up at four in the morning and go quietly into the woods and experience those changes, and experience what s going on out there. And there s people out whoâve been hunting or fishing in the same area for 40 years. That really gives you a truly inside view of what s going on in that landscape.
