John, God bless you and all
you do for all of us! Craig Boddington We are scaling up efforts on
lion monitoring here, saw your outstanding
manual - excellent job. Well done. We will be teaching the manual
to our new intake of unit leaders. Dale Lewis PhD., WCS Zambia |
 We continue to be amazed by the work of John Jackson (LA) and Conservation Force. We applaud your efforts, John, and GSCO is proud to be a partner with you and the organization. We plan do to even more in 2007. OVIS __________________________________________
We continue our support
to Conservation Force as we recognize that the work done by John
Jackson III is unparalleled, being focused on world-wide legal
actions to re-open or maintain the sustainable use of renewable
natural resources, (this is how hunting is called today). Eduardo
de Aaroz, President IPHA Again thank you for
your great efforts associated with the preservation of world hunting
rights;
especially with regard to the Argali case. Donald W. Jacklin,
Jacklin Land Company The Foundation for
North American Wild Sheep sincerely appreciates your untiring
support for our hunting heritage which has been effective at all
political levels. We thank you for what you've done for hunters
worldwide. H.I.H. Prince Abdorreza is also probably the world's most well-traveled and knowledgeable hunter. This is not a coincidence, since everybody is or should be aware that hunters worldwide have historically been responsible for the creation of Protected Areas, for wildlife conservation and its sustainable use. The Foundation, in view of the tremendous work carried out under the guidance of John J. Jackson III to defend the sustainable use of wildlife and sport hunting, decided to collaborate with Conservation Force, to carry out joint projects and actions. The Foundation, for
the last twenty-five years has been conducting worldwide a
considerable number of actions all aimed at the conservation and
management of wildlife and its habitats. As an NGO not affiliated to
any political lobbying group, its policy has been to involve all
stakeholders with particular attention to local communities. Bertrand des Clers,
International Foundation for the
Conservation of Wildlife In order to
facilitate their work on behalf of hunters' rights everywhere, John
and Chrissie have started a 501C, entitled Conservation Force. I
have only rarely met people of such principle, determination,
selflessness and devotion to duty as John Jackson. And Chrissie
comes in a close second. They have literally committed their lives
and livelihood to hunters' rights and to wildlife conservation
through trophy hunting. They bring the maximum impact and greatest
positive change with no waste, the lowest overhead, and the highest
ratio of personal contribution of any social benefit organization in
this country. These two are more deserving of your support than any
other. If you love hunting or wildlife, and want to preserve that
legacy for generations, I urge you in the strongest possible terms
to support John and Chrissie. Join the CF and donate as heavily as
you can. You will do more for hunting, and for the benefit of Third
World peoples, than you could by any other means. Twenty years from
now you will be proud to say you stood with CF. (ABA) Art Aplin
of A-Square in Any Shot You Want John [Jackson] is
past president of SCI and Chrissie [Jackson] is past president of
SCI-Sables. John started fighting the legal battle in 1989. After
numerous victories, he closed his lucrative law practice and now
works, full time (and out of his own pocket) fighting for trophy
hunters' and range nations' rights in Congress, in the Federal court
System and in international forums. If he continues his pace, he
will, within 10 years, have done more for wildlife hunting and
conservation than any man since Theodore Roosevelt. Art Aplin of
A-Square in Any Shot You Want Wildlife conservation
and hunters' rights has not greater champions than you. Art Aplin
of A-Square in Any Shot You Want The entire Board
joins me in expressing our appreciation for the job you are doing
representing us at the international hunting level. We all feel that
if we have but one voice, we are glad it is you. Dr. Richard
Allen, President Dallas Ecological Foundation (7/27/99) Thank you for all
you've done for the CIC during this year. We appreciate very much to
have in USA somebody so reliable, devotional, attentive and at least
so professional as you are. We all hope that it will continue
for many years. Jean-Ludovic Hartmann Good job with
Conservation Force! You're out front on the problems and
contribute significantly to the solutions.
Dave
Hanlin, Chief Consultant: Big Game World Safari Conservation Force
represents all hunters all over the world in the most difficult
arenas. We thank John for all his help on behalf of all of us. David
K. Langford, Texas Wildlife Magazine The hunting community
owes you a great debt for your work on behalf of hunting and
wildlife. Keep it up!Ken Wilson of Sportsmen on Film John [Jackson] now
has his own conservation outfit, aptly named Conservation Force, and
through this medium he carries on the battle to assist America's
hunters in maintaining our rights. He is still active in SCI as a
former president, and the organization is better off because of it.
He is greatly worthy of our thanks for what he has done and
continues to do in the world of conservation and hunting. J. Y.
Jones in Impossible to Fail Surely most of you are familiar with Conservation Force. This organization was founded and is run by John J. Jackson, III (LA). John is a past president of SCI, and is absolutely tireless in his efforts for wildlife around the world. He has done extensive work to keep the door open to hunting.. ..Thanks, John, for all your hard work. You guys and gals out there, help John wherever possible! A "thanks" at the Convention might even go a long way. . .a donation even further! Thanks to John J.
Jackson and his Conservation Force organization for their diligent
work to stop the uplisting of desert sheep in Baja. John is doing a
lot of work with limited resources. Dennis Campbell in
Grand Slam Earlier, we talked
about John Jackson (LA) and Conservation Force, but you need
to know more about them. He almost single-handedly prevented the
desert sheep of Baja, Mexico, from being listed as endangered by the
USF&WS.. . .Believe me, this thing almost got through,and John
seemed to be the only person who took it seriously. He almost had to
beg for help, but his diligence paid off and he brought the right
people into the fight. Thanks, John! Dennis Campbell in
Grand Slam What a great job
you've [John Jackson] done on the World Conservation Force Bulletin
in the Hunting Report. Mark R. Herfort, Houston Safari Club Board I think John is doing
a great service to the hunter. I think more people ought to realize
this. Thornton N. Snider of Weatherby Foundation The job you (Chrissie
Jackson) and John are doing is irreplaceable. I thank you, both..
Janet D. Nyce, Director-at-Large, Safari Club International Keep up the good
work.. .You are probably the expert on hunting related problems and
your expertise is certainly needed. Rex Baker The Hunting
Report and famed hunting attorney, John J. Jackson, III, have
formed a strategic alliance to open a new front in the fight for
hunters' rights worldwide. Jackson is the past president of Safari
Club International, whose many successes in the international legal
arena include blocking an effort to list the African elephant as
endangered on the US Endangered Species List. Without Jackson's
efforts, most observers agree, elephant hunting by Americans would
be a thing of the past and innovative elephant conservation programs
throughout Africa would almost surely have foundered... .More
broadly, it will also be a prohunting alliance that seeks to open up
new hunting opportunities worldwide and ward off attacks on
currently available opportunities. Don Causey, Editor (12/96)
The Hunting Report I want you to know
that I and my club very much appreciate your efforts in regard to
conservation issues. Kevin A. Malone, President African Safari
Club of Florida Thank you for all of
the work and projects you undertake. Ray G. Petty, Treasurer
Houston Safari Club We would like to
thank you, John, for the tremendous work you are doing for
conservation worldwide. It is great to be on board with you and to
support you. . . .Dennis
Campbell, Executive Director Grand Slam Club Jackson's
victory in the Terk case is one of the most important legal
events in recent US hunting history. Don Causey, Editor (2/98)
The Hunting Report We greatly appreciate
the efforts you are putting forth to help our cause in the
preservation and protection of our hunting rights. Randall Bush,
President Alabama Chapter SCI John Jackson,
former president of Safari Club International, is the inspiration
behind the Conservation Force. It has been through his tireless
efforts and commitment to our sport that Conservation Force has
become a formidable public voice for hunting. The Conservation Force
is a proactive sportsmen's organization intended to unify the
hunting world, to improve the profile of hunting and hunters, and to
expand and protect the role of hunting in wildlife conservation. As
Chairman of the Board, John Jackson has assembled a powerful group
of legal, wildlife management and world hunting experts to form a
most dedicated, focused and capable organization that serves,
supports and unifies all hunting organization. It acts as an
information, early warning and communication center, a think tank
and advocacy group for the sport of hunting. As a non-profit,
501(c)(3) foundation, the Conservation Force needs your support in
the form of funds.. .funds earmarked to promote the overall
viability of hunting. John's excellent World Conservation Force
Bulletins are published as monthly supplements to
The Hunting
Report.
International Professional Hunters Assocation (IPHA) This organization
(Conservation Force) will represent us internationally to make sure
that sport hunting remains a recognized cornerstone of wildlife
conservation. The list of accomplishments of this new sportsman's
public charity is already very impressive and we are proud to be a
sponsor member. Richard Allen, President Dallas Ecological
Foundation Your efforts stand
alone! I am continually amazed at the diversity and effectiveness at
which you engage the forces of anti-hunting. We all owe much to you
for this and the generations to come. Jimmie C. Rosenbruch,
Rosenbruch Foundation, World Wildlife Heritage Museum No individual
organization has the intellectual, personal and/or financial
resources to to all that - but as a Hunters Alliance we can make a
difference! Conservation Force could lead us into this direction!
This is - in my opinion - the real lesson all hunters (and their
respective organizations) have to internalize from CITES CoP 13!
Gerhard Damm The NTA (National Taxidermy Association) is an Organization Sponsor for the Conservation Force. The CF is a proactive organization that has been formed by the hunting world's foremost leaders to represent hunters. It's main purpose is to improve the profile of hunting and hunters, to expand and protect hunting and to unify the world's hunting organizations. Conservation Force is purposefully composed of the leading legal and biological experts on conservation through hunting. They are complemented by a worldwide network of experts and volunteer teams. The Conservation
Force attends roughly 30 meetings and by the NTA joining the CF we
will be represented at these meetings. Our opinions will be heard
and considered. Editor, Outlook, NTA I believe in giving
credit where credit is due. That is one reason why I try to mention
John J. Jackson, III (LA) and his organization, Conservation Force,
every chance I get. I receive all of his correspondence (or copies
of it), and this guy is working very hard for all of us. He does not
get much recognition from the "big" organizations, but continues to
work anyway. . .behind the scenes in many cases. John amazes me at
how he stays on top of CITES stuff. How does he read through all
that mumbo jumbo bureaucratic stuff and get down to the essence of
their ulterior motives. I do not know, but am thankful that he does.
He is on the verge of some real breakthroughs that will affect most
of us. We will report it here as it happens. Keep up the great work,
John! (By the way, he has already had several breakthroughs in the
past. I am speaking of new, exciting stuff now on the horizon.)
Dennis
Campbell, Editor
Grand Slam [W]e need to take a
more aggressive stand on international issues. The Conservation
Force can be that focal point that the various hunting organizations
throughout the world can stand behind. They are doing it for us
right now, whether it is importation of trophies, international
travel or un-endangered species. John and his organization must be
supported. On behalf of the African Safari Club of Florida, I wanted
to thank you for your support for an organization that we feel is a
must. Robert J. Lodge, President African Safari Club of Florida All hunters should
be, and hopefully are, very appreciative of the efforts, goals and
successes of Conservation Force. Lawrence B. Carlson We support and truly
appreciate the work that your organization has undertaken. Ray G.
Petty, Treasurer Houston Safari Club On behalf of the
Orange County Chapter, I would like to express our appreciation for
your untiring efforts to preserve the rights of hunters, and to
protect those rights from bureaucratic interference. Your long
string of successes have proven to be a plus for hunters
worldwide... .Your hard work and patient efforts are greatly
appreciated by both this Chapter, and the majority of SCI members.
Marvin M. Oliver, President SCI, Orange County Chapter It seems that you are
certainly the forerunner on challenging the people/organizations who
continually want to negatively affect hunting in the U.S. Keep up
the good work. Scott C. Thomas, President SCI, Orlando
Chapter I want to thank you
for your tireless effort to save hunting. No one I know has the
energy or knowledge and enthusiasm. Michael G. Adams, D.D.S.
It is rare and
refreshing to find a person who is committed to unselfish ideals and
ends in today's world. . . There aren't many of us as you know,
John, and for good reason. Bob Bailey It is reassuring to
know that someone with your knowledge and experience is watching out
for the conservation interests of our resource worldwide. Through
individuals like yourself, the message that hunting is a viable
conservation tool is being delivered around the globe, and we
appreciate the work you have put into this cause. Doug Walker,
Executive Director B.C. Wildlife Federation I recently subscribed
to the Hunt Report and have been impressed and enlightened
(.. .and enheartened), by your articles. I hope that you can
continue your efforts and publications. They are clearly essential
to the preservation of our right to hunt (and fish). Thank you for
your diligence. David P. Gannon, Jr., M.D. There is no doubt in
my mind that you are by far the most important singe influence to
preserve hunting worldwide. I am very happy to have the opportunity
to support you. Kevin A. Malone Do you ever sleep?
Your energy is unmatched and your actions exceptional. Thank you.
Gray N. Thornton, Exec. Director Dallas Safari Club We empathetically say
YES, Conservation Force is the best! We are very fortunate to have
them in our corner. More to the point, being represented as
taxidermists at all the major conferences held around the world,
they get inside knowledge of any proposals that could have a
negative and adverse effect on taxidermists. This includes
monitoring anti-groups that would be keen to put us out of business
and also monitoring the Federal Register on a daily basis. You are super people
and the hunting community is incredibly fortunate to have you
leading the fight for us. Benjamin Schaub Thank you John for
doing such a marvelous job on protecting our hunting right and for
the opportunity of getting better acquainted with you over the
years. Arthur Dubs, Pacific International Enterprises, Inc. John Jackson is a
distinguished international lawyer who has done more than anyone in
the world to protect hunting. Don Causey Conservation Force,
an organization that through the fine efforts, experience and
commitment of John Jackson, we consider to be the leader in wildlife
conservation and hunting advocacy. Alberto J. de Jongh Just wanted to share
how impressed we are with you and Gerhard. He was a fabulous
addition to the CF Board. Gray Thornton We believe in what
you are doing and appreciate your efforts in helping preserve
hunting traditions. Mark E. Campbell, Director RMBS You, personally, are
doing great work. I so respect you and what you are doing.
Proud is the word that comes to mind. Gary R. Swanson, Wilderness
Images, LTD We so much admire &
respect your work - and for making the sacrifices to accomplish
goals. Congratulations for well-deserved recognitions on all levels
- and for having the heart to make it happen. Susan Roussos IPHA's thanks must
also go out to John and The Conservation Force, for keeping an eye
on our welfare as far as CITES and all things of governmental nature
is concerned. Without his constant diligence the future of our
industry could be changed dramatically. I know for sure that we get
a far larger portion of John's cake than we actually pay for. Thank
you John. Terry Pierson, President International Professional
Hunters' Association The people you are
working with and the organizations you partner with show a record of
accomplishment that makes me proud of you. Thanks for all you are
doing. Jim Beers The Conklin
Foundation recognizes Conservation Force as a leader in the field of
hunter advocacy worldwide and applauds you for your efforts.
The Conklin Foundation is proud to be able to assist Conservation
Force in lessening the tremendous financial burden of hunter
advocacy litigation. Philip M. Ripepi, The Conklin Foundation Thank you for all you
do! Keith Johnson, Senior Alaskan Guide You are doing
incredible work that will benefit my children's interest in hunting
years to come and that's extremely worthy of my support. Thank you
for all you are doing to save hunting worldwide. Homer Tompkins I realized that there
was absolutely no hope for us hunters to enjoy returning Elephant
trophies from Cameroon safaris unless YOU took the bull by the
horns. I feel confident that your tremendous dedication and
unequalled expertise will get the job done for so many to enjoy
later. Charlie Goldenberg, Premier Safaris I commend your creative , boundless, and well-traveled efforts to save licensed ethical hunting within the United States. Keep up the great work. The cause of education the public on the importance of licensed ethical hunting is worthy and noble and helps to preserve the freedoms we enjoy. James A. Schneider A very special thanks
to John Jackson who is to represent IPHA at CITES. Although IPHA
makes a small contribution towards John's personal costs, without
his personal generosity, our Association would not be represented at
these most important meetings. Attendance at CITES and a watching
brief on any issues that may affect us, as professionals in the
industry, is essential. Needless to say, we are indeed fortunate to
be represented by someone who has the depth of knowledge and ability
that John has and we can only offer our heartfelt thanks for his
efforts on each and everyone's behalf. Terry Pierson, President International Professional Hunters'
Association Please remember that
Mr. Jackson is a world-class lawyer in these matters and is handling
my case as a test case for the world hunting community at no charge
to myself. It is a great gesture. Lawerence A. Franks (Mozambique elephant permit applicant) I marvel at your
energy and commitment. James G. Teer, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus, Texas A & M You are incredibly
committed and energetic, John, and I much admire you and your
ceaseless work on behalf of hunting and conservation. Randal Eaton, Ph.D.,
(Author, The Sacred Hunt) John, I always had
the highest regard for you even when you were President for SCI. Tony Da Costa I suspect you are
having a major impact on wildlife conservation around the world (
and would certainly like to know more about your successes and
vision of
the future) and admire very much your energy and passion and ability
to work with so many partners and leaders around the world. Dale Lewis, Ph.D. ADMADE, Zambia We all appreciate
your excellent work on the part of all interested parties. Please
keep your excellent work going. I appreciate you,
your organization, and your going to London very much. I hope you
get your just reward(s) someday soon. Thank you for representing all
of us so well. David K. Langford, Assistant Vice President Texas Wildlife
Association John-just for the
record. I think you are doing a great job. Ron Thompson We need more people
like you, you have helped the north immensely with your efforts.
Boyd Warner, Adventure Northwest Ltd. "Aggressive fighting
for the right is the noblest sport the world affords," so stated a
great American hunter, Teddy Roosevelt. I am sure that he would have
been happy to have had you as his attorney. Charles Salzhauer Thanks for all you
do, keep up the good work. Jack G. Brittingham Simply marvelous!
What a great group, John! Excellent partnering!!! Marty, Moose
Foundation Thank you for all you
have done for the nation's sportsmen. Mark Damian Duda Responsive Management You both are creating
such a positive mood and motivating atmosphere to the people being
with you! It was a pleasure sharing with you the moving experience
in London. Markus Binding, Ph.D., CIC I've been following
your progress with keen interest and can only say that I admire your
energy, foresight and conviction to get everyone rallied on your
conservation projects. Congratulations to you and your team!
Debbie, Mochaba Developments I thoroughly agree
that all hunters owe you a sincere debt of gratitude for all your
work. My belief is that this is something worthwhile not only
for myself but future generations of hunters. Please keep up the
good work and I wish you the best. Tony Bessette I would like to thank
you for your priceless experience , help and advise in CoP13.
Manuel Esparrago FACE Well done, John! Keep
it up. Colonel Bill Williamson Fair Chase Ltd. The World's most
aggressive and most effective hunting/conservation. Charlie
Goldenberg Congratulations.
Without all your hard work and input, the results of the CITES
outcome on Lion Hunting could have been seriously damaging to Lion
populations in Africa. ON behalf of Robin Hurt Safaris Tanzania Ltd.
and the Cullman & Hurt Community Wildlife Project, and all other
operators of safaris in Tanzania, and from the communities we
represent, a heartfelt thank you to you both. Robin Hurt Just a short note to
both congratulate and thank you for the successful battle you fought
and won with the Argali lawsuit. I watched your efforts from the
beginning and fully understand that without your leadership and
dedication that the successful outcome would not have happened.
Bill Scoble John, Thanks for all
you've done for all of us!! Jim Shockey, Ultimate Big Game
Adventures I have watched with
great pleasure as you have tirelessly fought for sportsmen's rights
and the protection of hunting around the world. Keep up the great
work. Don Peay, Utah I can never say
enough for what you have done to save hunting, with you wisdom, you
are "the man". Jack Jonas You continue to be
the most important voice in wildlife conservation. John Lowery As is true inmost of
the international import issues, John is the ultimate authority and
the only person who is really doing anything to further US hunters'
interests. Don Causey This is a blockbuster
report that needs to become part of the national debate about (John)
Kerry, and the NRA...if anyone gets credit, it's John Jackson and
Conservation Force. The man is the most effective hunting advocate
in the world today. Don Causey Thank you for
Conservation Force. Kirk Fordice, Governor, State of Mississippi We (DSC & DEF) know
it is you who is THE ONLY true person getting things done. . . That is why you have our 100% support and funding. Gray Thornton,
Executive Director Dallas Safari Club I and lots of other
sportsmen and women (including my daughter and wife who will be in
stands Saturday morning as our deer season opens) owe you and the
other 400,000+ folks a debt of gratitude for walking the walk.
Dan Dessecker Senior Wildlife biologist, Ruffed Grouse Society God bless and sustain
John J. Jackson, III! E. David Scott, MD John—Your vision and
role in hunting make you the leader in the world regarding
preservation of big game hunting and its potent conservation
influence. You have brought hunting into the circles of influence
where it belongs, and I congratulate you . . . we need your
continuing leadership. Randal Eaton, Ph.D. Please be advised
that Mr. John Jackson, III, is a member in good standing of the B.C.
Wildlife Federation and has been a member for over 8 years. In
addition, Conservation Force also holds a membership with the
Federation, which has Mr. Jackson, HI listed as their
representative. . . . Mr. Jackson represents our interest at CITES
COP 12 and has our full confidence that he understands the
complexities of the issues being discussed at this meeting. Doug
Walker, Executive Director B.C. Wildlife Federation Keep up the good
work. You are the only "voice" we have. Roger Hooper, Past
President of DSC Conservation Force: This is the most mileage the NTA has ever received. Any individual who is unconvinced about joining the NTA would get their full dues value just with what Conservation Force is doing for our industry. Every victory won by Conservation Force translates into business for the taxidermy industry. I empathetically say YES,. Conservation Force is the best! We are definitely getting the most bang for our buck Conservation Force is NOT concerned with only European or African trophies. This was a real eye
opener and proves without a shadow of a doubt that we are very
fortunate to have them in our corner. They are the first to
know about numerous items that can effect our profession. The
Conservation Force is a core supporter of the NTA. Frankie
Thompson, National Taxidermists Association What an impressive
organization. I certainly hope that I can work with you and
Conservation Force in the future. Mark W. Thomas, Quality Deer
Management Association I have seen your web
site and was surprised that I hadn't come across it before. I am in
complete support of your mission, purpose, and objectives. Good
work. Steve Gluck If there were more
guys like you out there, guys like me would be spending more time in
canoes and blinds. James M. Beers, Retired USF&WS biologist Once again, I would
like to commend you on your spectacular work. I have my trumpet
close at hand and More strength to you
both in what you are doing for Africa. Fiona Capstick, Author
RSA (Widow of author Peter Capstick) Thank you for your
tireless efforts in protecting our hunting rights and opportunities.
Phil Ripepi Thanks again for all
of your efforts on behalf of hunters around the world. Bob Kern,
The Hunting Consortium I just checked
Conservation Force's web site and was impressed with the breadth of
conservation projects CF is involved with. Gray Wolfe, Ph.D.,
Past Executive Director Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Thank you for your
commitment to Africa, which we all appreciate very much. Pauline
Mousley The Safari World of Robin Hurt Ltd. Thanks for all of
your hard work on behalf of wildlife. Gretchen Stark,
Safari Outfitters I would like to
encourage all of you to pay close attention to what John Jackson and
Conservation Force are doing for us in the sheep conservation arena.
Remember that he continues to lead the fight on the argali
litigation. Where would we be without John and his tenacity in
staying on top of this fight? Dennis Campbell I appreciate the
efforts of your organization to try to help preserve our great
sport... we do appreciate your efforts and want to say so!!! Wes
Vining, Trophy Connection You are to be
congratulated on all you do for wildlife and the future of hunting.
Mark Damian Duda Conservation Force .
. . the leading organization who lobbies and fights to protect the
rights of hunters. H. Wayne Ginn, President, DEF Conservation Force.
That group represents all hunters all over the world in the most
difficult of arenas: the courtroom. We thank John for all his help
on behalf of all of us ... David K. Langford, Assistant Vice
President Texas Wildlife Association
I know that if
someone can do it, it has to be you. As always, you have my support
and admiration. Carlos Davidov
I would like to convey
my sincere thanks to you, and Conservation Force, for your support
of the formation of hunting section in the Outdoor Writers
Association of America. The creation of a hunting communicators
section . . . passes along the heritage of hunting to the next
generation can tackle the tough questions facing our industry, in
concert. As a single outdoor communicator's audience can number more
than 1 million, the impact of your support cannot possibly be
overstated — nor can the positive contribution it will make in the
long-term struggle to conserve wildlife, and ultimately protect our
right to hunt, worldwide. Guy J. Sagi, Editor Mule Deer Magazine The Fund has continued to support the important work done by Conservation Force for hunting all over Africa and indeed the world. In the mammoth and indefatigable efforts of John Jackson can be seen the success in protecting the rights of hunters and ensuring that the important role that hunting plays in the conservation of wildlife is recognized. Conservation Force, in the person of John Jackson, represents PHASA's interests at CITES and other forums of importance to our industry. [T]here is no doubt that his continued efforts play a large role in protecting our rights and itnerests and hence the financial support given to Conservation Force. Professional Hunters Association of South Africa, Conservation and Empowerment Final Report, 2009. _____________________________________ John and Chrissie, I have always admired your strong dedication to conservation needs in the developing world. I wish I had put my work into the field rather than a university. You just don't give up, despite some tough going from time to time with this or that endangered species. I do not know a single person in conservation that can match your dedication and perseverance. Thank you. Dr. James G. Teer __________________________________________
