Sustain our Global Cultural HeritageHunting constitutes arguably the oldest humanactivity. It has influenced human development,culture, religion and social interactions from thebeginnings of human history. Few human activities,other than hunting, offer a more sustained linkacross human civilizations, from the Stone Age tothe Internet Age. This rich and diverse humanheritage needs to be appropriately recognized andsustained.
