Hunt Fish 30x30

The hunting and fishing community's perspective of the 30 by 30 initiative to place 30 percent of land and water resources under protected status by the year 2030, also known as the Global Campaign for Nature or Global Deal for Nature

Seems like an awesome but completely unattainable goal.

I'm sure someone will correct me if my thoughts are wrong. They are:

• Environmental groups co-opt the term "conservation" from hunters and anglers and use it in place of "preservation" and the like.
• Said E groups propose "conservation" strategy 30x30.
• Hunter and angler groups choose to promote the 30x30 strategy by defining the word "conservation" in their own terms.

Not a bad strategy, IMO. Much better than a knee-jerk negative reaction.

I have been thinking this same thought for a while. When I was studying conservation management “conservation” meant the wise use of all resources including lumber, oil and gas, critters, etc. now it seems like “conservation” means allowing hunting and fishing but nothing else. And then it often feels like hunting and fishing is included in these plans because the creator of the plan knows that if hunting and fishing is allowed it will gain support and money from the traditional conservation groups, but in reality the end game is what we learned was preservation.
