Episode 23: Unleaded

Leland Brown is the non-lead hunting education coordinator at the Oregon Zoo, and co-founder of the North American Non-lead Partnership. His goal is to increase the voluntary use of non-lead ammunition for hunting and thereby improve landscape and ecosystem health, because it’s another important conservation challenge that hunters can solve themselves. We talk to Leland about his work with hunters as well as with hunting and conservation groups and dig into some of the science behind the discussion.
