Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue of Sustainability, “Sustainable use of wildlife”, we intend to deal with demographic and evolutionary impacts of hunting pressure on wildlife. We aim to stimulate the submission of papers on three levels: conceptual, technological/methodological, and societal. At the conceptual level, we would like to focus on how sustainable use can affect not only demographic but also evolutionary processes concerning used species, including their behavioural ecology and environmental health. At technological and/or methodological level we would like to focus on innovations that can promote sustainable use of wild species as well as the life quality of the human people who explore them. At the societal level, we would like to focus on the socioeconomic as well as cultural dimensions concerning wildlife sustainable use and the governance components (e.g., public policy, environmental certification, and education) that can improve wildlife management and assure their sustainable use.
Please consider submitting a paper to this Special Issue of Sustainability on the “Sustainable use of wildlife”. Your contribution will be of utmost importance to the scientific merit of such an endeavour.
Best regards,
Dr. Luciano M. Verdade
Guest Editor
