Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (NSW) Inc. 13
Responsible wildlife management is all about protecting
our environment and that includes the conservation of
endangered wildlife, ecosystems, and biodiversity which
SSAA NSW is committed to. It was great to receive
plenty of positive feedback and support for what SSAA
NSW is about to embark on, especially those made by
Threatened Species Commissioner, Gregory Andrews.
After last year's gala we reported that one of the offi cial
ambassador devils of Devil Ark was named Sporty
in honour of SSAA NSW. Sporty today resides at the
Ark and is considered a very cheeky but photogenic
devil that plays an important role in the education of
visitors to the facility. We understand what the keepers
were saying as Sporty continued to grace us with his
presence all morning, showing off for the cameras.
SSAA NSW's fi nancial support of,
and on the ground involvement
in the Devil Ark and Aussie Ark
initiatives provides an excellent
opportunity to highlight the important
role recreational hunters play
in conservation and provides a
platform from which to build a better
understanding and acceptance within
the wider community.
