Seven Sisters of Conservation
We watched a video on the seven sisters early in the year. These WILL be asked about at the state competition so I thought today I would write them out. IMO, these questions will basically be "gimme answers" for the teams that study and learn them. You can find more information at: http://www.rmef.org/Hunting/HuntersConservation/Model.htm
Sister #1: The Public Trust
In North America, natural resources on public lands are managed by government agencies to ensure that we always have wildlife and wild places to enjoy.
Sister #2: Prohibition on Commerce of Dead Wildlife
Conservation laws and their strong enforcement in the United States and Canada saved wildlife from slaughter.
Sister #3: Democratic Rule of Law
You can help make laws to regulate hunting and fishing and conserve wildlife.
Sister #4: Hunting Opportunity for All
Every citizen has an opportunity, under the law, to hunt and fish in the United States and Canada.
Sister #5: Non-frivolous Use
In North America, we can legally kill certain wild animals under strict guidelines for food and fur, self-defense and property protection.
Sister #6: International Resources
Wildlife and fish migrate freely across boundaries between states, provinces and countries.
Sister #7: Scientific Management
The right information helps us make good decisions and become better stewards of wildlife.
