    Doug Scott è un fervente sostenitore della conservazione della natura selvaggia, concentrandosi sui successi legislativi nel campo della conservazione. La sua profonda conoscenza della storia e del processo di redazione legislativa dietro atti critici, come il Wilderness Act del 1964, lo ha reso uno stratega e lobbista chiave in numerose campagne significative di conservazione. Il lavoro di Scott è caratterizzato da un'acuta navigazione politica e da una comprovata capacità di promuovere leggi che garantiscano la protezione duratura delle aree naturali per le generazioni future.
