President's Budget Underscores Need for Strong Conservation Funding

This is very interesting. Sportsmen all over the US are pushing for Congress to sustain funding for many programs that support wildlife/natural resource conservation. They are pushing for long-term management of natural resources. The article states, "Combined, outdoor recreation, natural resources conservation, and historic preservation support 9.4 million American jobs, result in $1.06 trillion in economic impact and generate $107 billion annually in tax revenue. Of these totals, hunters and anglers account for close to $100 billion in economic activity." $100 BILLION! It is the hunters and the sportsmen (and women) who truly care for America's wildlife, and sadly their numbers are dropping. This is a time when we need to rally together and push for continuance of policies that protect our rights and our resources!
