We’re thrilled to introduce our brand-new podcast series: Future of Conservation! This series is all about the future of wildlife conservation—exploring the cutting-edge science, innovative ideas, and passionate people working to protect our planet and its species. In each episode, we’ll sit down with conservationists, scientists, authors, and other experts to dive deep into the challenges and solutions shaping the future of our natural world.

In this episode of The Future of Conservation, we’re joined by authors Steve Meyer and Christine Cunningham, to discuss their book, The Land We Share, a captivating collection of over 60 outdoor essays. Published in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, and the Bureau of Land Management, this collection explores the deep connections formed through hunting on public lands. Steve, a lifelong hunter, and Christine, an Alaskan who embraced hunting later in life, reflect on how these experiences nurture the human spirit, sustain health, and foster a deeper appreciation for the natural world. Accompanied by their loyal bird dogs, they share stories of how hunting builds relationships, connects people to the land, and plays a vital role in conservation efforts. Tune in for a conversation that celebrates the intersection of good dogs, good people, and the wild places we strive to protect.
