John McKenzie spoke to us on wildlife and habitat as well as the habits of various animals. In an informative session which was a cross between presentation and Q&A, John gave humorous examples of “bad guys” which ranged from hunters and fishermen to tourists and the perception and reality of each group. He noted that habitat is more important than animals because if you have the habitat you will have the wildlife. As an aside, he pointed out for those who feed wildlife including birds, that in the USA, the feeding of wildlife is a $2 billion industry.
