Lion protection fees paid by tourists could pave the way for a responsible transition away from trophy hunting without affecting the communities that rely on hunting revenue.
The UN ‘30 by 30’ biodiversity strategy aims to set aside 30% of land as protected areas. New research shows these areas do support biodiversity, but big parks also increase it outside their borders.
South Africa’s legal commercial lion industry is helping to act as a cover for the illegal international big cat bone trade.
Humans must kill animals in many cases, but they can still modify their behaviours to improve the welfare of animals while they are alive.
