Nuance below:
We have some feelings on the North American Model and the way it's implemented and discussed in the wildlife field. It usually disparages other models of wildlife conservation, silences non-consumptive users, and erases the indigenous "north American models" developed and implemented long before colonization.
We'd love to hear other voices on this issue, so reach out if you'd like to bring your perspective to a future conversation!
