Can legalised-hunting help conservation?

[Matias]

The September 26 TEDx talk by Mike Arnold (a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science) highlights the work of the Zambezi Delta Safaris in Coutada 11, Marromeu Complex, Mozambique. Filmed on site, Mike explains conservation through trophy hunting, subsistence fishing programs, improving agricultural practices, habitat protection and restoration, as well as the differences between regulated hunting and poaching.

Remembering that the Zambeze Delta Safaris, together with the Cabela's Foundation, were responsible for the reintroduction of lions (24 lions), today its population has tripled. Recently reintroduced 11 cheetahs.

"It doesn't matter if conservation is done by ecotourists or regulated hunters, the difference is good governance, good projects, good attitudes... letting local communities receive the financial flow of living with wildlife. Reply
