Fearing that this may be detrimental to the longevity of these animal species, men like Theodore Roosevelt, George Armstrong Custer, and George Bird Grinnell all realized that conservation efforts needed to be implemented before it was too late and the animals became gravely endangered or even worse, extinct.

EZHNT BLOG is a conservation centric blog that advocates for outdoor sport. It provides information about how sport greatly contributes to the cause of conservation. We are here to encourage people to get outdoors and take advantage of the outdoor activities that help fund the efforts of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is imperative that we all work together to protect endangered species and their ecosystems. The money that goes towards licenses and tags to hunt, fish, and trap species with plentiful populations is used to directly fund the needs of species with less fortunate population numbers. These sporting activities are also a means of helping maintain healthy populations for the species that do thrive, thus, giving the species as a whole better and longer lives. We are trying to help keep our lands, water, and populations healthy for future generations of outdoor sportspeople.
