Caring about the future these days feels like it’s in short supply. Thinking about what happens to the world around us after we’re gone is even rarer. And doing good, leaving the world better...well, I can count on one hand the people who hope to do just that.
I don't mean to be all Eeyore, but if you turn the TV on, head online, or doomscroll social media, the world seems to be on fire and everyone still can't seem to see past their own short existences.
But Doug Duren, conservationist, humorist, Can-Am ambassador, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) evangelist, and regular guest within Steve Rinella’s MeatEater universe, is one of the people who actually give a shit about what happens next. And no, I don't mean about his own legacy—though I suspect that it will be great—but rather how he leaves the world once he's not a part of it anymore. How he hopes to leave it better for all.
And how the land we inhabit and utilize isn't actually ours; it's just our turn.
