| The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership & Bass Pro Shops have teamed up with Steven Rinella, host of the show MeatEater on the Sportsman Channel, to serve you up a weekly helping of conservation: http://www.trcp.org/community/conservation-field-notes Sportsmen and Wetlands Loss •America loses an average of 100,000 acres of natural wetlands per year to draining and development projects. •Nine out of every 10 fish caught by American recreational anglers are dependent on wetlands at some stage of their life cycles. •More than 6 million waterfowl depend on wetlands such as the prairie pothole region.

We are making these videos in conjunction with the non-profit Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, which received vital sponsorship backing from Bass Pro Shops. The reason that the MeatEater team chose to work with TRCP is summed up nicely by that organization's rallying cry: Guaranteeing You a Place to Hunt and Fish. We love them for it, and because they wage a nonstop battle for wild lands conservation, day-in and day-out. What's more, they're not afraid to take unpopular stances when they know it's the right thing to do for hunters and anglers. The aim of these Conservation Field Notes is simple: to alert you about specific issues that are imminent threats to our hunting and fishing lands, and to tell you how to join in the battle. So please, get your little butts over to http://www.trcp.org/community/conservation-field-notes. You owe it to yourself and to your kids. --Steven Rinella | Views: 1054 20 ratings |
