Forbes: Jagt betaler for vildets eksistens

Indlæg af Kalthoff » 7. feb 2023, 22:38

En artikel i selveste Forbes, der fortæller om jægernes betydning for de vilde dyr over hele kloden og om konsekvenserne for vildtet når jagt forbydes:
The millions of dollars, pounds, and euros paid by American and other international hunters sustain a management system of carefully regulated hunting that serves as an opposing force to the indiscriminate killing of wildlife at the hands of meat, ivory, and rhino poachers, many of whom serve masters in Southeast Asia, forever the global hub for the illicit wildlife trade.
History, on the other hand, is rife with examples of what happens when such economic incentives are removed because of hunting closures. Kenya is the most notable example of what follows hunting bans. Regulated hunting for elephants was ended there in 1973 and the vast herds were subsequently slaughtered en masse by poachers who no longer contended with hunter-funded anti-poaching teams. Wildlife disappears from the landscape as poachers snare, shoot, and poison anything that provides meat, threatens their livestock, and crops, or brings currency on the black market.
