I Am Conservation - The Iceberg Perspective

[AfricaHunting.com]

Received an email this morning from Duncan Watson from Zimbabwe that reads:

I recently designed a hunting graphic to try and illustrate what hunting does for wildlife (In Zim)… trying to get the message out there…

 

[MMAL]

Wow - will definitely download and forward

 

[Nyati]

I am also downloading it and will make good use of it.

Thanks for inviting me to join AH and thank you for sharing my graphic...I am a cameraman so not directly involved in the business of running safari operations - however, my livelihood and passion lies with the preservation of Africa's hunting areas for us and our children. Hope some of you are able to swing a couple "fence-sitters" by sharing the graphic...

Thanks for posting

I really like it. It's amazing how a well crafted graphic can make an entire argument!

SOOOOO stealing this! I just wish your name were on it Duncan. But I will make sure people know where it came from. Thanks for sharing!

 

[Royal27]

That's just awesome.

Well done.

It is kinda - right down the left side of Africa...but didn't do it to get my name out - just the message.

Infact I have no problem if people add their logo/name to the graphic!

Very nicely done Duncan, fantastic concept.

Great graphic. I really like how the submerged iceberg is in the shape of Africa.

My liberal sister didn't read any of it (I am not surprised by this). My mother however found it very interesting (I was not expecting this) and said it put things in a new perspective for her. My mother is not anti hunting, but is usually not interested in such things.

Great - one down 4 billion to go! ;-)

Very nicely done. I understand that U.S. Fish and Wild Life is contemplating the banning of Trophy Elephant Importation into the States. This image needs to be sent to them during their current "review" period while the "Public" still has an opportunity to voice their opinion. Just like most State DNR's I'm sure the Federal Fish and Wild Life Commission would prefer to base their decisions on "sound Scientific Game Management" rather than emotional outcries from individuals and or groups that provide no resources for the long term preservation of any given species.

send away Shootist43...direct your local chapter to it...send it to SCI/DSC and get them to use it. I have used contact addresses that I have found on FaceBook and the general internet - but you may know someone who knows someone who can get it directly to where it needs to go....

And why stop there? Send it to your Govenor; Congressman; President?

i dont think the antis are really that stupid,they just dont care about the truth,they just care about what they want.

I saw today on the DSC facebook page that they posted this pic also!

Welcome aboard, Duncan. I would LOVE to help you spread the word and literally illustrate how hunting IS conservation, as we say here at SCI Houston First for Hunters. Is it possible that you could send me a JPG of the original art for this image to use in our newsletter, print and online media? Of course we'd give full credit to the source!
