Wednesday, October 4, 2023

Our idea was that this could compensate for any lost revenue from trophy hunting were it to be banned.

Key Points: 
  • Our idea was that this could compensate for any lost revenue from trophy hunting were it to be banned.
  • We found that a high percentage – over 80% – were in favour of the idea of a lion protection fee.
  • South Africa is opening a public policy consultation on how the country can adopt a more sustainable and ethically driven approach to wildlife conservation.

A complex debate

    • Animals may experience huge stress as they’re pursued for days and separated from their family groups.
    • For instance the specific targeting of certain animals – like males – could have a harmful effect on species population dynamics and social structures.
    • Questions have also been raised as to whether funds from trophy hunting always reach local communities or those on the frontlines of conservation.

Lion protection fee

    • And that such a ban could be funded by introducing a “lion protection fee”, added to the visas of incoming tourists.
    • They were then asked questions to gauge what daily fee would be acceptable and how likely they would be to visit South Africa under different daily fee scenarios.
    • Of 907 respondents, 84.2% stated that being charged a “lion protection fee” was a “great” or a “good” idea.
    • There were two main fee scenarios.
    • It showed that 84% of 10,687 respondents were either somewhat or strongly opposed to “the trophy hunting of wild animals found in Africa”.

Replacing trophy hunting revenue

    • Our findings could pave the way for a responsible transition away from trophy hunting without unintended repercussions for wildlife and the communities that rely on them.
    • For example, administrative logistics and sensitivity to fluctuations in visitor numbers must be taken into account.

So, in case you missed it, a new report has bad news for Earth’s five surviving species of rhino.

Key Points: 
  • So, in case you missed it, a new report has bad news for Earth’s five surviving species of rhino.
  • While we should never become desensitised to wildlife crime, environmental destruction and species extinctions, there is also some remarkable news.
  • Conservation charity African Parks recently bought the largest private collection of rhino in the world: the Platinum Rhino farm at Klerksdorp, near Johannesburg in South Africa, previously owned by South African businessman John Hume.
  • Hume continued to expand his private rhino farm and used his increasing rhino population as leverage in his calls for legalisation.

Into the wild

    • A number of years ago I was involved in what was, at the time, the largest private translocation of rhino.
    • The team I worked with moved tens of rhino; the African Parks mission is a lot bigger.
    • African Parks manages an area of 20 million hectares spread across 22 national parks and protected areas over 12 countries.
    • In the meantime, the farmed rhino need to be prepared to cope with the stress of translocation and release, and for a wild life.
