Effective Leadership for Conservation's Future

Past conservation leaders such as Theodore Roosevelt, George Bird Grinnell, Gorden Hewitt and Sir Wilfred Laurier were able to see so clearly the problems of excessive natural resource use. As part of this greatest time in conservation, the issue of conservation was made salient to the public. However, we no longer strive for the hearts of our nations' public and rather focus upon membership rosters and obtaining political influence. Therefore, it is necessary to engage the public on hunting and more generally on conservation.
