Wildlife Conservation through Sustainable Use
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
We welcome submissions on any aspect of the science, theory, and application of sustainable use of wild living terrestrial resources, including vertebrates and plants. Submission of reviews and reports of examples of the successful sustainable use of wildlife is welcome. The conference objectives are to:
- Report on the ethical and sustainable use (both consumptive and non-consumptive) of wildlife as a conservation tool;
- Report on the development of alternative strategies and/or models for wildlife conservation;
- Report on private wildlife conservation efforts that supplement or enhance public conservation efforts;
- Promote wildlife conservation programs that incorporate beneficial environmental, economic or social outcomes;
- Re-examine progress made in the field of sustainable use of wildlife over the last 30 years.
To facilitate those objectives, the conference will have the following themes:
- Sustainable indigenous use of wildlife;
- Commercial use and trade of wildlife;
- Non-consumptive use of wildlife;
- Pest management—use and control of introduced pests and weeds;
- Animal welfare and human dimensions of sustainable use;
- Wild resource management;
- Wildlife policy and regulation;
- Non-commercial use of wildlife.
Although using wild resources sustainably as a tool for conservation has been widely discussed since at least the 1970s, there has been recent criticism that the idea has not lived up to its promise. This volume will bring together the latest information regarding, and examples of, the successful sustainable use of wild living organisms. It is an opportunity to publicize your work through publication in high-quality, peer-reviewed journals.
