In 2012 , the NFC revised some of its goals and set forth a new vision of waterfowl management that emphasized a core of hunter and conservationist supporters. In other words, the researchers sought to determine attributes important to birders, and how those attributes rank relative to each other. Citation: Patton, Stephanie.
