The core values are quite dated. They are 10 years old. I am sure there are new challenges resulting in a realignment of core values. I would like to see the values be written in a more relevant manner. This reads like a boy scout handbooks from the 1930ies. They don’t reflect the challenges of today such a climate change, extinction, evasive species, and cultural constraints. Where to we mention the importance of science and being more data driven?
