A Conservation Crisis with Mark Kenyon

Mark Kenyon joins the show for a deep dive into conservation, public lands, and the growing threats to access and wildlife management. He eloquently explains how conservation should be a nonpartisan issue, yet political and economic pressures put some of the country’s most treasured outdoor spaces at risk.

Mark shares insights from That Wild Country and his recent work, highlighting the resurgence of land transfer efforts, resource extraction priorities, and the role hunters and anglers must play in protecting these places.

This episode isn’t just about identifying the problems. We also talk about actionable solutions.

Mark explains how grassroots efforts, public pressure, and strategic advocacy have successfully defended public lands in the past and why it’s time for the hunting community to engage again. Whether you’re an avid public land hunter or just someone who values having wild spaces to roam, this conversation will get you thinking about how to take action before it's too late.
