Could someone give me a link to the CAMPFIRE Project site please. Having trouble finding it on Google, so thought I'd post here whilst I keep searching for it.

Would also appreciate links to sites that have information on sustainable hunting or those that describe how hunting can benefit conservation.

Thank you.

CAMPFIRE used to have website, but that URL has been taken over by someone else. I have been unable to find a current website for them.

Here is the old website:

http://www.campfire-zimbabwe.org/

Here is a Botswana website:

Many thanks, Terry.

Would these be internet links? I am writing a small article on the benefits of sustainable hunting as opposed to out-right bans on hunting. Whether or not any newspaper publishes it remains to be seen but I would like to provide links to appropriate sites to emphasise my point. Space is a criteria.

Thanks.

Do a google search on Clark Lungren Burkina Faso. He's had several articles published about his work in Nazinga Reserve and the drastically increased game populations caused by sport hunting. I've been there, and it is truly amazing.

Here's another one

Sorry. Double post.

I read that Vancover Is. has increased Bear pop
by selective hunting. Thet shoot only the biggest older males. They'er the ones that kill and eat the most cubs. Been very sucessful I'm told.

Thanx for reminding us of that. The same has long been true on Kodiak Island. Try contacting the Alaska Department of Fish and Wildlife. For that matter, try the California DFG. Our black bear population has burgeoned over the last couple of decades even though we take about 10% of them each year.
