     Dear members,                                            It is crucial that we support the hunting industry
                                                              around the world. Face it, absent SCI,
     FACE recently launched its new Biodiversity              international hunting today would not be what it
     Manifesto, which is Europe’s first evidence-based        is. SCI was the impetus that expanded global
     platform showing how Europe’s hunters conserve           hunting into a major industry and SCI is here to
     biodiversity.                                            help keep that proud tradition alive.
                                                              Many of the guides and outfitters around the

                                                              and guides and outfitters directly, is to go hunting.
     We now have strong evidence to show how                  As the world opens up, go on that dream hunt. It
     hunters are successfully implementing the EU             is a way for each member individually to do

     For the past couple of years, international hunting
     has been hamstrung by everything from
     quarantines to interrupted air travel. This is the
     time to break out and begin the trip back to
     “normalcy,” whatever that means to each
     member. We hunters are at our best when we are

     hunting and when we are fighting anti-hunters.
     This means that now is the time to be out                                 Nils-Ole Stubberud
     hunting, to be planning a hunt, or both.              - 3 -       President Royal Nordic Chapter
