Atascosa Borderlands, Chapter 5
In this episode of the mixed-media storytelling project Atascosa Bordelands, Mandy Culbertson examines the North American Model of Conservation and its impact on wildlife management in Arizona and beyond. She explains how hunting licenses and excise taxes, while historically key to funding state wildlife agencies, now create perverse incentives that prioritize game species over holistic ecosystem health. The conversation delves into the public trust doctrine as a transformative framework, and gives a fresh perspective on wildlife funding and conservation priorities.
