Recorded at Ducks Unlimited's 89th National Convention, host Jimbo Robinson sits down with renowned National Geographic photographer Carlton Ward Jr. for a conversation about storytelling, wildlife conservation, and the connections between people, landscapes, and the species that depend on them. Carlton shares how a career that began documenting wildlife in Africa eventually led him back home to Florida, where he became one of the leading voices behind the Florida Wildlife Corridor movement. The discussion explores the role of photography in conservation, the importance of connected habitat, and how species like the Florida panther help tell a larger story about preserving working lands, watersheds, and wildlife for future generations. Along the way, Carlton explains how storytelling helped inspire real conservation policy, why private land conservation matters, and how hunters, landowners, and conservationists can work together to protect landscapes at scale.
