About this episode
We welcome Doug Chiasson, Executive Director of the Fur Institute of Canada, to the podcast. Doug shares the rich history of Canada’s trapping industry and the critical work being done to preserve trapping and promote sustainable use.
Our conversation explores the growing threats to hunting, trapping, and conservation, with a deep dive into the seal industry. Doug highlights how current regulations and market pressures affect not only the seal resource but also the broader fishing resource.
With extensive international experience, Doug emphasizes the importance of having a strong presence on the world stage. His decades of work in the non-profit sector have left a lasting impact, earning him wide respect among his peers.
