Episode 3
Wednesday, 17 December, 2025
Duck hunting may sound like a forbidden sport for most bird lovers but did you know that some of the most dedicated bird conservationists - in the world - are also devout hunters? In this episode of Bring Birds Back, our host Deja Perkins speaks with Jerad Henson from Ducks Unlimited– one of the largest and longest running waterfowl and wetlands conservation organizations in the world. Jerad talks us through the complex history of hunters as conservationists in the Americas and the incredible impact of the organization from past to present. The oft-times controversial sport is much more than just a pastime, it’s also been a lifeline for species and habitats for decades. You don’t want to miss this one!
