PERC CEO Brian Yablonski joins Dylan Bagnasco of the Land Ethic podcast to discuss free market environmentalism. Brian notes that a market-based approach to conservation will be more sustainable and insulated from fickle political winds. The two discussed Brian’s history as the chairman of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, how a free-market approach to environmentalism works, and current PERC research such as wildfire and forest management, the role of private lands in wildlife conservation, and water markets.
