CENTER FOR CONSERVATION COMMUNICATION
A voice for
the wild.
A future for us all.
Hunters and anglers have helped write one of America’s great conservation stories. It’s time the rest of America heard it.

Healthy wildlife Thriving habitat Shared traditions A future for everyone
THE STORY AMERICA NEEDS TO HEAR
We’ve protected habitat.
Now we must protect understanding.
Healthy wildlife. Open spaces. Food from the land. Traditions passed from one generation to the next.
These are things Americans can share, whether or not they hunt or fish. The Center for Conservation Communication exists to connect those values to the people and industries helping sustain them.
We are building a permanent mainstream voice for hunter-funded conservation: a coalition of conservation organizations, scientists, wildlife professionals, businesses and compelling storytellers that earns public trust through evidence and emotion.

This is a shared achievement. Hunters, recreational shooters, anglers, boaters, manufacturers, state agencies and other partners all contribute. These measures describe different benefits and are not additive.
HOW THE COMMITMENT BECOMES CONSERVATION
Participation becomes protection.
A lasting connection between the sporting community and benefits for everyone. [1][2]

THE HUNTER-CONSERVATION TRADITION
“In a civilized and cultivated country wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen.”
Theodore Roosevelt · Library of Congress [5]
WHY THIS MOMENT MATTERS
The future of conservation depends on public trust.
Wildlife decisions increasingly play out in headlines, social feeds and ballot campaigns. Science needs a clear, credible voice in that conversation.
Habitat alone cannot secure the future of hunting and fishing if public support disappears. CCC will make the connection visible—before misinformation becomes accepted wisdom and before the next controversy defines the story.

An invitation.
Not a dividing line.
Conservation starts with something we can agree on: wild places are worth keeping.
FOR EVERYONE WHO LOVES THE WILD.
You don’t have to hunt
to love hunting.
Perhaps you’re not a hunter.
But maybe it’s time to thank one.
