There can be no greater issue than that of conservation in this country.

— Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th President of the United States of America, from 1901 to 1909. He was an avid hunter of big animals and defender of habitat and wildlife conservation. During his administration, he stablished five national parks and protected over 230,000,000 acres of public land. Roosevelt made conservation a top priority during his administration.

The Tarahumara Autumn

Today’s world is undergoing a universal crisis that does not respect borders, cultures, races, ideologies, or religions.

Poverty, drug trafficking and corruption are just some of the problems the Tarahumaras are facing day by day.

The documentary explores the worldview of the Rarámuri people in our contemporary world as a tool to creates consciousness, to preserve their knowledge and traditions, but especially to save their forest which they consider their home.

Hunting reservations in North America are testimony to the economic success that a good wildlife conservation plan produces. The White Mountain Apache Reservation and San Carlos Apache Reservation in Arizona, are good examples of such hunting and conservation programs.

 The cost of an Elk hunting license in one of this reservations can cost an average of $25,000 (twenty-five thousand dollars), and several licenses are sold every year. For the community, this project represents a high profit.

In a civilized and cultivated country wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. The excellent people who protest against all hunting, and consider sportsmen as enemies of wild life, are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is by all odds the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extermination.
