Summary

Today on the show I'm joined by conservation writer and BHA podcast host Hal Herring to explore how to be a conservationist in a post-pandemic world.

Topics discussed:

When Hal knew he had to tackle conservation and advocacy as his life's work
Early inspirations
How to channel anger and frustration with anti-environment/public land acts
How to filter all of the information and misinformation when trying to learn about possible threats to wildlife or wild places
Resources for unvarnished truth related to wildlife and wild places
How to achieve an informed and relatively unbiased opinion
How to get politicians to actually listen to hunters and anglers
Do hunters and anglers still have the stomach to fight for our resources?
How will COVID-19 impact conservation efforts
How/when should we begin to push for conservation wins amidst the pandemic
What to consider leading up to the vote in 2020
