Making sure that the Malheur Wildlife Refuge is returned to its rightful owners—the American public.
As the takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge by armed thugs enters its fourth week, the frenzy of continuing media attention overlooks the larger picture. On this episode of Locus Focus we talk with Bob Sallinger with the Audubon Society of Portland and Arran Robertson with Oregon Wild about the narrow political agenda of these self-styled militias that now puts one of America’s most important wildlife refuges at risk and why it is so important to make sure that the Malheur Wildlife Refuge is returned to its rightful owners, the American public.

Bob Sallinger has worked for Audubon since 1992. His current responsibilities include directing Audubon's local, regional and nation conservation policy initiatives, citizen science and wildlife research initiatives, Living with Urban Wildlife Program, Backyard Habitat Certification Program and Wildlife Care Center Program.

Arran Robertson is the communications director for Oregon Wild.
