A Massive Win for Conservation

Did you hear? If not, there's some pretty big news out of Florida this week, and we wanted to take a second to say congratulations to a partner of ours who was instrumental in making it happen --- the International Order of T. Roosevelt. Florida voters have officially voted and subsequently passed Amendment 2, which has now protected and enshrined the right to fish and hunt in the state's constitution. Florida becomes the 24th state to constitutionally protect hunting and fishing, and ushers in massive win for the future of conservation in the state.

The news reminds of just how important something like this is to Florida and the future of it's habitat and wildlife. Looking back at our episode we did for the Hard Truths of Conservation, "Resurfacing the Everglades," the alligator in Florida is the only mammal in US history to essentially completely fund it's own conservation. Through hunting, ecotourism, meat and leather consumption, Floridians can permanently enjoy conservation success stories like this forever now. 

We couldn't be more proud to be locked arms with IOTR, as we stand in the arena with them and the shared goal of making a real difference in conservation.
