DSC, Boone and Crockett join forces
A new partnership between two of the world’s top clubs for hunter-conservationists was unveiled during the Dallas Safari Club convention and expo, which wraps up today in Dallas.
Dallas Safari Club (DSC) and Boone and Crockett Club, announced a new strategic alliance as “Preferred Conservation Partners.”
By combining the strengths of their unique memberships and resources, the clubs hope to more effectively sustain the integrity, ethics, stewardship and leadership that made sportsmen the first worldwide voice for conservation.
Of specific interest is promoting today’s best practices in conservation, wildlife management, public and youth education, hunter advocacy and fair chase.
“Coalition building has been a strategic imperative ever since our organization was founded by Theodore Roosevelt,” said B&C President Ben Wallace of Corpus Christi.
“Much of what we continue to accomplish for conservation today is because of the strength of our partnerships,” he added. “I see great things on the horizon for wildlife, their habitats, and the traditions of hunting through this new level of cooperation with DSC.”
Over the past year, DSC has announced “Preferred Conservation Partner” alliances with the Professional Hunter’s Association of South Africa, Alaska Professional Hunters Association, and the Guide Outfitters Association of British Columbia.
An agreement identifies cross-promotional opportunities for both organizations in coming years.
Ben Carter, DSC executive director, said, “We’re excited to strengthen the ties between DSC and Boone and Crockett because working together will allow us to achieve even more for healthy habitat, abundant wildlife populations and hunting in North America and around the globe.”
