As an example, the MMF has unilaterally declared a moose hunt within areas closed to moose harvest for conservation reasons. Before any expansion of the existing MNRHZ is contemplated, the MWF urges the province to develop a shared management regime to ensure that all harvest of our precious natural resources \u2013 Indigenous and licensed \u2013 is practiced in a safe and sustainable manner. The protection of our Natural Resources for future generations of Manitobans should be the priority of all involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mwf.mb.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/MMF-Letter.pdf\">Read the full Manitoba Metis Federation proposal here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Manitoba Wildlife Federation (MWF) wants to bring to your immediate attention a letter recently issued by the Manitoba Metis Federation (MMF) to Metis Harvesters (below), proposing a significant expansion [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9111,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"_tribe_events_control_status":"","_tribe_events_control_status_canceled_reason":"","_tribe_events_control_status_postponed_reason":"","_tribe_events_control_online":"","_tribe_events_control_online_url":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[142],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
