Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation
The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) is a conservation and pro-hunting organization, founded in the United States in 1984 by four hunters from Troy, Montana (Bob Munson, Bill Munson, Dan Bull and Charlie Decker). Its mission is to ensure the future of elk, other wildlife, their habitat and American hunting heritage. In support of this mission the RMEF is committed to: # Conserving, restoring, and enhancing natural habitats; # Promoting the sound management of wild, free-ranging elk, which may be hunted or otherwise enjoyed; # Fostering cooperation among federal, state, tribal, and private organizations and individuals in wildlife management and habitat conservation; and # Educating members and the public about habitat conservation, the value of hunting, hunting ethics, and wildlife management.Since 1984, the RMEF helped to conserve more than 6.7 million acres (26,700 km2) of habitat. RMEF also helped to restore long-absent elk populations, with herds being reestablished in Kentucky, North Carolina, Ontario, Tennessee, Missouri, Virginia and Wisconsin. RMEF strives to be a strong voice for hunters in access, wildlife management, and conservation policy issues.
The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation believes that hunting is conservation, that every citizen is entitled to hunt and fish, and that science-based, state-regulated hunting drives wildlife conservation and management.
In September 2020, The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and its partners supported $2.6 million in wildlife protection in Colorado. Provided by Wikipedia
