We keep noting in the Federal Register that U.S. hunters are applying for enhancement import permits for scimitar horned oryx they have been persuaded to take in South Africa. All of the applications are denied and will continue to be denied. There is not the faintest hope or representation by the USF&WS that import... »

Most responsible people want to solve the problems that face our wildlife today. The way that most people have been conditioned to think, however, makes it impossible for them to recognize even the most logical solutions that are staring them in the face.  When seeking solutions to problems most people search for them only... »

According to new research by Dr Chris Darimont, a post-doctoral researcher in environmental studies at the University of California, humans are dramatically speeding up evolutionary changes in the plants and animals they hunt and harvest.
