Mace Hack directs the Nature Conservancy in Nebraska. Like a country doctor making the rounds, Mace travels the state listening to and speaking with ranchers and farmers, finding common ground on resource and environmental issues. A biologist with years of field work studying zebras in Africa and wild horses off the coast of North Carolina, Mace’s talents as the great explainer of the natural world are joined in conversation with Professors Dan Caner, Emma Gilligan, and Dave Powelstock. Many care deeply about climate change; Mace has unique insights into how to persuade the skeptical and achieve sustainable conservation outcomes.
