Michael Cravens Hunting in AZ
Description
Arizona Wildlife Federation Podcast Collaboration with Michael Cravens
Show Notes:
Michael Cravens runs the Arizona Wildlife Federation Podcast, and we recently joined forces to do a show together. Michael is the Advocacy and Conservation Director for the Arizona Wildlife Federation, which is the oldest conservation organization in the state. The group’s roots are in sporting, and they formed back in 1923 to create the first commission for wildlife management in Arizona to take it out of the hands of the legislature.
The Arizona Wildlife Federation works on education, volunteer habitat improvements and restorations, and advocacy, which is Michael’s primary role. He tracks good and bad bills and acts accordingly as it benefits the organization. Here, Michael and I discuss some of the things going on around the country right now and how they bleed into what we have going on in Arizona.
It’s so important for citizens to be educated on wildlife issues so they can make informed voting decisions on what’s happening. Michael and I chat about misinformation and what we can do to combat it. We also share our thoughts around conservation vs. preservation, why hunting advocacy impacts far more than just hunting alone, and much more.
What’s Inside:
- Why it’s important to educate the public on wildlife issues
- How hunters can help combat hunting and wildlife misinformation
- Why we need wildlife and conservation advocacy now more than ever
