DON’T MISS THIS INSPIRING, IMPRESSIVE AND ENTERTAINING PRESENTATION FROM WORLD RENOWNED LECTURER SHANE MAHONEY!

Hunting remains a critically important conservation mechanism as well as a profoundly influential tradition in the lives of millions of people.  Its importance in launching the great wildlife recovery in North America that commenced in the latter days of the nineteenth century is beyond dispute.  How will the many changes in our society affect its future and what role must hunters play to ensure that hunting remains a force for the common good of wildlife and people in the 21st Century?

Internationally acclaimed biologist and conservation leader Shane Mahoney is uniquely positioned to address these issues.  Mirroring Theodore Roosevelt’s call to conservation arms, Shane Mahoney will deliver the keynote address and call on hunters to renew their pledge to conservation as the first and most important responsibility of their citizen activism.  Always passionate and inspiring, and deeply committed to hunting and wildlife conservation, Shane Mahoney will without doubt deliver an intense and challenging address to banquet attendees.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear one of hunting and conservation’s best!

Shane Patrick Mahoney is considered one of today’s leading international authorities on wildlife conservation and is beyond question one of the conservation movement’s most eloquent spokesmen.  A rare combination of poet, historian, scientist and philosopher, he offers a unique and evocative perspective to wildlife conservation issues, one that has motivated and inspired audiences around the world.  Sometimes referred to as the Canadian Leopold, he is an impassioned communicator widely recognized as an expert on wildlife management and North American conservation history and policy development. 

Born and raised in Newfoundland, Shane Mahoney brings to his work a profound commitment to wild nature, rural societies, and to the sustainable use of the earth’s natural resources.  Formerly the Head of Wildlife Research for the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, he founded and is currently the Executive Director for the Institute for Biodiversity, Ecosystem Science and Sustainability (IBES).  He is a recognized expert on the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation, and is widely credited with spearheading outreach efforts on this concept, a framework originally articulated by his close friend and mentor, Dr. Valerius Geist, and now firmly entrenched within conservation debates today.  Shane has lectured and written extensively on this issue.

Shane is the voice of the Boone and Crockett Country television series and has produced many conservation oriented films.
