Doug Scott sa venuje politike ochrany divočiny a jeho práca sa sústreďuje na legislatívne úspechy v tejto oblasti. Jeho hlboké znalosti histórie a procesu tvorby kľúčových zákonov, ako je zákon o divočine z roku 1964, mu umožnili stať sa kľúčovým stratégom a lobistom v mnohých významných kampaniach za ochranu divočiny. Scottova práca sa vyznačuje prezíravým pochopením právnych predpisov a schopnosťou presadzovať zákony, ktoré zabezpečujú trvalú ochranu prírodných oblastí pre budúce generácie.
