Trophy hunting: controversial conservation

Supervised by Professor Amy Dickman

Description

Trophy hunting is one of the most controversial issues in conservation, especially with the general public. A fierce debate exists about whether restrictions such as import bans should be imposed, or whether those restrictions would harm conservation and livelihoods. However, there is a surprising lack of empirical data to inform these debates and policies. This project would involve one or more students conducting reviews of national wildlife policies related to trophy hunting, and an examination of aspects such as the number and breakdown of species involved, and evidence for whether trophy hunting helps or harms conservation and livelihoods.

Project outcomes

This project would contribute towards an IUCN situational analysis, which would in turn help inform national and international policy on this topic. The student(s) would be supported in writing accessible articles about their work, as well as having the chance to contribute towards a peer-reviewed paper. This work would have real-world impacts in terms of evidence-based conservation.
