The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation recently affirmed its commitment to the conservation benefits of hunting by adding to its mission statement. The mission statement now reads: “To ensure the future of elk, other wildlife, their habitat and our hunting heritage.”
“This is a logical step for us,” said David Allen, RMEF CEO and president. “Hunting is conservation. Not only does hunting provide a way for families to fill the freezer, but it gives us a deep-seeded connection to and much-needed funding for land and wildlife. This new addition to our mission statement merely formalizes a priority RMEF already supported and dedicated itself to for years.”
Hunter-generated revenue has allowed RMEF to accelerate the pace of its conservation work during the past two and a half decades. To date, RMEF protected or enhanced more than 6.1 million acres of wildlife habitat.
