When you think about who are the true champions of conservation around the world the last group you think of is hunters. Killing animals doesn’t fit with a 21st-century viewpoint of conservation. But when you start looking, and peeling layers of information back, and looking at where the successes of wildlife conservation are occurring in this world, the vast majority are happening through hunter-led conservation efforts. The crown jewel of this is arguably what the Fiordland Wapiti Foundation is doing in Fiordland National Park for native flora and fauna conservation in New Zealand. Operating in arguably the harshest environment in the world, a place affectionately called the Amazon on top of the Himalayas, Fiordland needs hunters for it to survive. This is the story of the Fiordland Wapiti Foundation told in the place that they love to protect.
