Environmental law expert Lowell E. Baier reveals how over centuries the federal government preempted the states' authority over managing their resident wildlife. He shows the precedents that led to the current state of wildlife management, and how to foster a constructive environment at all levels of government to improve wildlife and biodiversity.
Lowell E. Baier is an attorney and a legal and environmental historian and author. Baier holds a B.A. from Valparaiso University, a J.D. from Indiana University and has received two honorary doctorates. He's worked in Washington, D.C. throughout his 56-year career as a tireless advocate for natural resources and wildlife conservation. Throughout his career, he has observed and documented wildlife and its habitats on extensive treks and expeditions in the mountains and wilderness regions across the North American Continent, the Pamirs and Caucasus of Russia, and Mongolia's Gobi Desert and Altai Mountains, providing him with first hand observations of wildlife and man's interactions across the globe. He was recognized as the Conservationist of the Year by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation in 2008, and again in 2010 and 2013 by two different national organizations.
