Shane Mahoney is a conservationist to his core. Over more than 30 years of experience working primarily as a scientist, wildlife manager, policy innovator and strategic adviser, Mahoney has gained a unique perspective on our world and the hunter’s place in it.
He was also involved in the earliest days of the creation of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation and has insight on the subject you can’t get anywhere else. We devoted an almost three-hour conversation to the Model with the intent to break down its beginnings, how it became popularized, its major principles and the criticism it has received.
The podcast will be broken up into two parts, this episode being part one. Come back next week for the conclusion of my chat with Mahoney.
