    Conservation is as conservation does and it sure ain’t preservation.

    Why are all of you fearful and outright dismissive of discussing the important difference? Conservation sets no sidebar and becomes meaningless.

    It’s sad “leaders” are not leading.

He started out doing forest carnivore work for the Forest Service, BLM, and the Inter-agency Grizzly Bear Study Team, with some Wilderness Rangering on the Pinedale Ranger District. That work lead him directly to deal with the gross corruption within the federal agencies’ range program.
