Conservation Work
Mike Arnold is Professor and Head of the Department of Genetics at the University of Georgia. Conservation of the natural world has always been a focus of Mike’s scientific work. Mike’s specific expertise lies in understanding the genetic composition of natural populations. Being able to explain — through his writings, videos and talks — how sport hunting supports conservation efforts has allowed him to apply his scientific expertise to real world examples of ecosystem restoration and conservation. From helping with rhino relocations in South Africa, rewilding Pangolins in Mozambique, and predator and invasive animal control in North America and Europe, Mike’s passion for hunting-based-conservation penetrates each and every aspect of his trips into the woods, plains and mountains.
