1 MAG 2025 · New Mexico became a national leader in providing equitable opportunity to experience the outdoors when the New Mexico Outdoor Equity Fund was created in 2019. Now, more than five years later, the impact this program has provided to communities across New Mexico is undeniable. Listen in as Jesse Deubel speaks with Karina Armijo, the director of New Mexico's Outdoor Recreation Division. Karina Armijo has 27 years of experience supporting small businesses and events in Northern New Mexico in both the public and private sectors. After receiving a B.S. in Design from the University of Cincinnati, Karina spent time at Los Alamos National Laboratory working in the communications department. She later continued her career in the private sector providing creative and web design services for the tourism and outdoor recreation-related industries. Most recently, she spent eight years with the Town of Taos as the first Director of Marketing and Tourism, developing and managing local and regional programs to support businesses and events throughout the Enchanted Circle.

As a regular guest of the show Matt is always eager to share the work of Impact Outdoors. Their mission is to impact communities through education, conservation, and meaningful outdoor opportunities. In this conversation Matt explains how the NM Outdoor Equity Fund has helped him and Impact Outdoors achieve this mission.
Sarah Candelaria is the founder and executive director of Nature Ninos New Mexico. Nature Niños' mission is to expand access to the outdoors, share all it has to offer, and invite youth and families who might not readily access the outdoors into a safe, and welcoming community where they build skills and grow the next generation of conservationists, land stewards, and recreationalists.

They invest time introducing youth to their eco-identity through the visual arts, music, theater, spoken word and other mediums while encouraging their creativity and personal expression.

1 APR 2025 · Senate Bill 5 [SB5], The Wildlife Heritage Act recently passed the NM State Legislature and was signed into law. SB5 provides a wholistic approach to updating the systems in place for wildlife management in New Mexico. This bill was supported by one of the largest and most diverse conservation coalitions ever to be assembled in the state. Each organization who worked tirelessly to help this necessary bill become law approached the goal from a unique perspective. The values, priorities and mission statements represented by the more than twenty groups who formed this united team are often quite different. One core belief shared universally by the coalition is that future generations of New Mexicans deserve to enjoy robust wildlife populations in the fourth most biodiverse state in the Nation. United by this truth, conservation leaders across New Mexico agreed to push our differences aside and focus on this common goal. The result was success.
Jesse Deubel joins Judy Calman of Audubon Southwest, Matthew Monjaras of Impact Outdoors and John Rutter of The New Mexico Houndsmen Association in this discussion about the monumental improvements provided through SB5. While each of these organizations were motivated by different reasons, all supported SB5 and all were instrumental in the bill's success. In his book, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," author Stephen Covey writes "Seek first to understand, then to be understood." By heeding that advice, a large conglomeration of interest groups in New Mexico has effectively transformed the future of wildlife management in the Land of Enchantment. This is a win for all people and a win for all wildlife. Enjoy the listen!

1 MAR 2025 · Jesse Deubel invites David Willms, Associate Vice President of Public Lands for the National Wildlife Federation onto the show. Before joining the National Wildlife Federation, David served as a natural resources policy advisor to Wyoming Governor Matthew H. Mead, and a natural resource attorney in both the public and the private sector. He also teaches a graduate course on the Endangered Species Act at the University of Wyoming, and writes frequently on various wildlife and land management issues. A regular guest on many national hunting podcasts including Meat Eater and Hunt Talk Radio, David is well respected as a national expert on issues relating to public lands, waters and wildlife.
In this discussion David and Jesse cover the variety of threats currently facing public lands. They also discuss a recent ruling regarding grizzly bears that could have an effect on the future of the Endangered Species Act. David shares his thoughts on the potential for passing the Recovering America's Wildlife Act given the current political landscape in Washington D.C. The two talk about a new partnership between the National Wildlife Federation and NBC that resulted in a brand new documentary series called, "The Americas." This is a ten episode documentary series narrated by Tom Hanks that showcases the wonders, secrets and fragilities of the wild places and wild animals in North and South America.
Most importantly, Jesse and David explain how and why all Americans who care about public lands should be doing everything in their power to advocate for the places they love. It starts by showing up and making yourself heard. One great place to do that is at the New Mexico Wildlife Federation's "Camo at the Capitol" event being held at the Roundhouse, New Mexico's state capitol on March 7th, 2025 from 12:00pm-3:00pm. Please make plans to be in attendance at this event. Your voice matters, but it's only heard if you show up. Until then, enjoy the listen!

1 FEB 2025 · Hunting is conservation. That phrase was popularized by David Allen while he was the CEO at the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. David is a marketing genius. That phrase went viral and hunters continue to use it at every opportunity. There is a lot of truth to those words. For about the last 100 years hunters have been the primary source of conservation funding. The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish is an enterprise agency. The roughly $50 million dollars per year they operate with is not provided by tax dollars or other general fund appropriations. Instead, their budget is a result of dollars spent on hunting and fishing licenses and federally matched dollars generated by an excise tax on firearms, ammunition, and some other fishing and hunting gear. This model has worked historically, but it's not sustainable into the future.
Conservation funding must be broadened. The Public Trust Doctrine makes clear that wildlife exists in trust and shall be managed for the benefit of all the residents of the state. Because wildlife belongs equally to all the residents, all the residents should contribute to the financial investment needed to effectively manage that wildlife. Through a variety of strategies, New Mexico's conservation funding is both increasing and becoming more diverse. It's more critical than ever that hunters welcome to the table those co-owners of our wildlife who choose not to hunt. This is happening in a huge way in New Mexico. In this episode, Jesse Deubel facilitates a conversation with members of the New Mexico Conservation Coalition to discuss how they are working together to reform the NM State Game Commission, and support our state wildlife agency by ensuring they have the tools, authority and funding necessary to carry out their mission. By working together we can sustain our hunting and fishing traditions. Enjoy the listen!

14 DIC 2024 · URGENT: The very existence of public lands in the United States of America is under the greatest threat conceivable. What would the loss of public lands mean for you, your family and the activities you enjoy? What if the road leading to your favorite trailhead or camping spot was gated and locked? What if you were blocked from your favorite hiking or fishing spot by "PRIVATE-NO TRESPASSING" signs. Whether you enjoy visiting National Parks, wildlife refuges, lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management or the United States Forest Service, all of these places are currently at risk of becoming private property. The elimination of federally managed public lands in the United States would have drastic and far-reaching consequences for the quality of life for all Americans. If you hunt and fish on public land you should be hyper aware of the current efforts spawned by the state of Utah. If you make a living grazing cattle on public lands the ramifications of Utah succeeding in this heist will severely impact your livelihood. In this very important conversation, Aaron Kindle, Director of Sporting Advocacy for the National Wildlife Federation sits down with Jesse Deubel to discuss the latest updates in the case, how we got here and what you can do to get involved. If you love public lands and all the opportunities they provide this is not an episode you will necessarily enjoy listening to. This one isn't for entertainment. Please listen to this emergency 45 minute episode to become informed so you can join the fight. In this episode Aaron Kindle refers to this issue as "the fight of our life."

1 NOV 2024 · Anyone who has driven through New Mexico recently has seen the large installations of wind turbines popping up across the landscape. If you've been next to a semi-truck carrying a single blade for use on one of those turbines you can appreciate the massive size of these windmills. These modern structures are drastically different from the old, rickety, wooden stands that might stretch 40' into the air and support a metal bladed pinwheel designed to pump water from the ground. These modern, power-producing, engineering marvels have caused concern for wildlife enthusiasts since their introduction. Pattern Energy is one of the largest developers, owners, and operators of high-quality wind, solar, transmission, and energy storage projects in all of North America. During this episode of the Ahi Va podcast Jesse Deubel sits down with Adam Cernea Clark who's the Director of Permitting & Policy Strategy, as well as Quentin Hays who is a Senior Wildlife Ecologist and the Wildlife and Renewables Program Director for GeoSystems Analysis, Inc. The trio does a deep dive into how Pattern Energy continues to address the concerns of wildlife advocates in New Mexico as they work to power our future. The conversation drifts from the dangers of lead ammunition to the importance of wildlife crossings to reduce wildlife/vehicle collisions. There is plenty of discussion about bats and the agave plants they pollinate. This episode is full of valuable information and it just might change the way you look at wind turbines? Enjoy the listen!
