"J. Michael Cline was a true champion for conservation and for wildlife," said Jennifer Mull Neuhaus, Chair of the Board of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. "Michael was an exceptional leader as our Chairman over the past three years, and his passing leaves us all deeply saddened. His love of the outdoors and his passion for conservation made him the perfect fit for our organization, and during a time of tremendous growth, Michael was instrumental in shaping NFWF's vision and guiding the Foundation's efforts to conserve our natural wonders for generations to come. On behalf of the Foundaton and its Board of Directors, I extend my heartfelt sympathies to Michael's family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time. He will truly be missed by all who knew and worked with him, but his legacy in conservation will benefit us all far into the future."
