Episode description
President Joe Biden signed a proclamation Oct. 8 to restore protections to two national monuments in the American Southwest. The New Mexico Wildlife Federation refers to one of those monuments, Bears Ears in southeastern Utah, as "The Hunter's Monument."
Managed by the Bureau of Land Management, Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante comprise over 3.2 million acres of breathtaking public land.
In this episode, NMWF Executive Director Jesse Deubel sits down with renowned scientist Marietta Eaton to discuss the significance of Biden's recent proclamation.
Marietta recently retired from the BLM. During her incredible career, she worked as a science advisor for Grand Staircase-Escalante. This was the first BLM National Monument and Marietta was one of the very first people hired to work there.
Although not a hunter herself, Marietta recognizes the cultural importance of hunting as a means of procuring food. She also sees the value of hunting as a management tool and is aware of the necessary funding that hunting and angling provide for conservation.
This conversation covers an array of topics relevant to New Mexico and to all Americans. Enjoy the listen!
