Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on the question of sustainability in the context of wildlife management. The existing literature is mainly focused on the ecological dimension of sustainability, and/or on harvested populations.
Another focus in existing studies is the economic aspect of wildlife tourism.
However, sustainability in all three dimensions—ecological, economical, as well as socio-cultural—is rarely addressed.
Thus, this Special Issue will address the complete spectrum of sustainability question in wildlife management and preservation. It will take a look not only at harvested populations, but also, for example, at protected populations or those treated in any other manner (population control, wildlife tourism, etc.). In addition, we aim to place more emphasis on the economic and socio-cultural aspects of sustainability.
Major problems that are to be discussed are:
- The uncertainness of the underlying data (especially a problem with models);
- The subjectiveness of validation (especially a problem for socio-cultural aspects).
A special aspect should be the question of wildlife management under changing environmental conditions, such as urbanization or climate change.
Dr. Sven Herzog
