Full bio for The Wild Harvest Initiative: Bringing Hunting Home found here:
"Many humans feel disconnected from nature and are unfamiliar or out of touch with the origins of their food. Yet, not all individuals acquire animal protein from the meat aisle or the frozen fish section of the grocery store. Each year in the US and Canada, more than 44 million people partake in the legal and sustainable harvest and consumption of animals and fish obtained through hunting and angling, harvesting food for themselves and millions of others, including family, friends, neighbors, and charities, with whom wild harvested meat and fish are shared. Conservation Visions' Wild Harvest Initiative® is the first serious effort to evaluate the combined economic, conservation, and social benefits of recreational wild animal harvests in modern American and Canadian societies. The program’s structured, science-based approach, combined with its long-term advocacy and knowledge mobilization strategies, provides a new and innovative assessment of wildlife’s value and the benefits of wild harvest activities - not just to hunters and anglers, but to all community members, including even those who are opposed to animal use. Its mission is to educate, advocate, build and inspire alliances, and influence public and political opinion to positively impact communities and to conserve nature."
