Anti-Hunting Groups Raise Millions, But Hunters Do All the Actual Conservation Work The groups opposing SB 1021 claim to be conservation advocates but CRPA Legislative Director Rick Travis points out they aren't the ones building duck boxes, setting up breeding pens, or restoring habitat after wildfires. That's hunters and anglers. Even Jerry Brown acknowledged it: over 95% of California's conservation work in the last hundred years has been done by the hunting and fishing community, not the organizations writing opposition letters. #HuntingConservation #AntiHunting #SB1021 #CRPA #RickTravis #HuntersConserve #CaliforniaWildlife #JerryBrown #ConservationTruth #CaliforniaLegislature

Apex Predators Can't Have It Both Ways #Hunting #wildlife Anti-hunting groups love to cite the Yellowstone wolf reintroduction as proof that apex predators restore natural balance. CRPA Legislative Director Rick Travis agrees and points out the one apex predator they conveniently leave out of that argument: humans. Humans have hunted for tens of thousands of years, and telling a terminally ill child their dying wish makes them complicit in something wrong is nothing short of reprehensible. #HuntingRights #AntiHunting #YellowstoneWolf #ApexPredator #SB1021 #CRPA #RickTravis #ConservationTruth #HuntingDebate #CaliforniaLegislature

ALL “FACTS” ARE TRUE. ASSUMPTIONS ARE ASSUMPTIONS “Reconsidering Polar Bear Protections: A Case for Delisting Based on Current Data” In 2008, polar bears were listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, not due to a documented population decline, but based on computer models projecting that future sea ice loss from climate change could threaten their habitat. At the time, warnings suggested Arctic ice might vanish entirely, leading to the bears’ potential disappearance. This forward-looking decision shaped policy, relying on anticipated risks rather than observed conditions. Nearly two decades on, the most catastrophic predictions have not fully materialized. Global polar bear populations have remained stable or shown modest growth, with estimates rising from around 20,000–25,000 in 2008 to approximately 26,000 today (within a range of 22,000–31,000). While some subpopulations have declined due to regional factors, others—like those in Svalbard, Norway—have maintained steady numbers around 2,650 and even improved body condition despite changing ice patterns. Arctic sea ice has indeed declined, with long-term trends showing about 12% loss per decade in summer extents and recent records like the third-lowest January coverage in 2026, but it has not followed the most apocalyptic scenarios of complete disappearance. Polar bears, as adaptable wildlife, have demonstrated resilience in some areas by shifting behaviors, such as increased land-based foraging or using alternative ice types. When the core assumptions of a listing—such as imminent, widespread habitat collapse—do not unfold as projected, sound conservation demands a reassessment. Delisting polar bears would align with science-based wildlife management, allowing for targeted protections where needed while avoiding overreach that could hinder economic activities like responsible energy development in Alaska.

HUGE news: Blood Origins is now The Origins Foundation. New name, same heart. One name. One mission. A bigger future. Welcome to The Origins Foundation. #TheOriginsFoundation #SustainableUse #ConservationTruth #BloodOriginsEvolved

Honorable Governor of Narok County, We appreciate your insights on the Maasai community, wildlife, and conservation. Your leadership, as seen in your recent interview, is commendable. The world acknowledges the challenges of conservation, and it’s reassuring to hear from a leader who claims to protect the Maasai Mara. You mentioned having advanced technology that allows you to track anyone in the Mara. With such a powerful tool and 300 rangers at your command, why does illegal herding in restricted zones remain rampant day and night? Has this tool truly been effective, or is it just another innovation that stays unused when it truly matters? The world also knows that Lorkulup’s death was far from natural, despite misleading KWS reports. Surprisingly, there was no statement from Narok County. Since your technology can track individuals, was it used to reveal the truth about his disappearance? Or is this tool only for monitoring reporters and tourists while real issues are ignored? Rules and regulations exist—on paper. Yet, illegal grazing and human-wildlife conflict are at an all-time high. If enforcement is as strong as claimed, why do these issues persist? Is conservation just a promise, or will action follow? Olobor’s case also remains unanswered, despite many knowing the real story. That’s fine. You present yourself as a conservation hero—a man of his word. The world is watching. This is your moment to prove that you stand for truth, conservation, and the Maasai community. Stand tall, speak the truth. Real conservation heroes have nothing to fear. #SaveMaasaiMara #ProtectBigCats #ConservationTruth
