The International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation (CIC) has partnered with Conservation Visions in support of the Wild Harvest Initiative®.
Whilst the mission is to educate, advocate, build and inspire alliances, and influence public and political opinion to positively impact people and nature, the Wild Harvest Initiative® will better enable CIC to promote and support the conservation of wildlife and related landscapes, local communities, and traditions through sustainable use, including hunting. It will provide a strong scientific basis for engagement in environmental policy debates and enable effective outreach in support of hunting’s positive role as both a meaningful tool for conservation and an important component of food security.
“This much broader partnership will enable our global members to communicate the science-based facts, on-the-ground realities and success of sustainable use in wildlife conservation to an uniformed global audience,” says Sebastian Winkler, CEO, CIC.
Conservation Visions is excited about the new partnership. “CIC has a long track record of environmental and cultural stewardship, as well as overall excellence,” states company president, Shane Mahoney. “I am certain that, together, we can do much good – most importantly to benefit wildlife, but also to prove the modern relevance of our shared hunting and fishing traditions – and I am thrilled to have CIC on board as the first European partner in the Wild Harvest Initiative® Partnership Alliance.”
