Conservation and Politics in New Mexico: #006 of the Hunt to Eat Show
City Councilor and New Mexico 2nd District Congressional candidate Gabe Vasquez talks about conservation, the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act and more
On Episode 6 of the Hunt to Eat Show, we are joined by Gabe Vasquez, a City Councilor in Las Cruces, N.M. Gabe is running for Congress in New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District and joined us to talk about conservation priorities in New Mexico and his approach to navigating the intersection of conservation and politics.
He gives us an update on the bipartisan Recovering America’s Wildlife Act (RAWA) and the success of the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument as a conservation success for New Mexico.
During the conservation segment, we chat more about bighorn sheep conservation in New Mexico and dig into the rich complexities of the Colorado wolf reintroduction project. You’ll also hear about a new structure of the show that will give you a content fix every week from now on.
