Taxation and Conservation in Outdoor Recreation

This chapter engages in a lively conversation about food preferences before shifting focus to the significance of the Pittman-Robertson Act in conservation funding through taxes. It proposes a 'backpack tax' on outdoor goods as a means to support non-consumptive activities and emphasizes the need for collaboration among different user groups for effective wildlife management. The discussion further explores the balance between consumptive and non-consumptive activities, advocating for equitable contributions to conservation efforts from all outdoor enthusiasts.
