More about the book
The North American Wildlife Conservation Model (NAWCM) played a crucial role in rescuing iconic big game species from extinction in the early twentieth century. However, its strict ban on commercial wild game meat sales has led to overpopulation of species like deer in areas with reduced hunting pressure. The book highlights successful strategies from Texas and South Africa that integrate scientific insights and market incentives to manage wildlife populations effectively. It proposes intermediate measures, such as proxy hunting, to attract more hunters and promote reforms in other states.
