The only way to insure a healthy environment is to take care of its caretakers. No wardens. No wildlife.
Fish and Game Wardens, empowered by the law, protect the state's natural resources. We know ourselves as the "Thin Green Line". Yet, as critical a role as we have, wardens themselves have become a vanishing force, marginalized by political whims, undermined by falsehoods, and victimized by economic pressure. As warden numbers diminish, so do the wildlife, fisheries and environment in California.
