Global Warming and Duck Hunting
Date: 10/20/2006

Doug Inkley of the National Wildlife Federation and Arkansas Wildlife Federation President and avid duck hunter David Carruth discuss the effects of climate change on migratory bird travel as it relates to the duck hunting industry in Arkansas. Inkley and Carruth outline how the warming of the earth could have a dramatic impact on wildlife conservation, particularly when it comes to waterfowl flight patterns. Higher temperatures would cause ducks to stop their migration further north each winter, causing Arkansas’s multi-million dollar hunting industry to suffer drastically, the speakers say.
