  • Trophy Hunting by the Numbers
    Trophy Hunting by the Numbers THE UNITED STATES’ ROLE IN GLOBAL TROPHY HUNTING 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We undertook a study to determine the impact of American trophy hunters on wildlife in other countries. To conduct this research, we examined wildlife trophy import trade data obtained from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Law Enforcement Management Information System (LEMIS). Between 2005 and 2014, more than 1.26 million wildlife trophies were imported to the U.S., with an average of more than 126,000 trophies every year. Most originated in Canada and South Africa, but other top countries of origin included Namibia, Mexico, Zimbabwe, New Zealand, Tanzania, Argentina, Zambia and Botswana. Trophies of more than 1,200 different kinds of animals were imported during the decade studied, including nearly 32,500 trophies of the Africa Big Five species: approximately 5,600 African lions, 4,600 African elephants, 4,500 African leopards, 330 southern white rhinos and 17,200 African buffalo. The top ten species imported during the decade were snow geese, mallards, Canada geese, American black bears, impalas, common wildebeests, greater kudus, gemsboks, springboks and bonteboks.2 The top five ports of entry for wildlife trophies during the decade were: New York, NY; Pembina, ND; Chicago, IL; Dallas/Fort Worth, TX; and Portal, ND.3 These ports provide an entry point for the trophies, which should interest local lawmakers concerned about trophy hunting. The African lion is listed as Vulnerable on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN Red List) and Endangered and Threatened under the U.S.

Boddington Safari Press CAUTION! Common sense needs to be used when handling and discharging a firearm. Keep the following principles of safety in mind so as to provide a safe environment for everyone: 1) Always point a firearm in a safe direction. 2) Never point a firearm at another person. 3) Treat all firearms as though they are loaded. 4) Wear eye and hearing protection at all times when handling firearms. Do not attempt to handload your own ammunition using the bullet velocities and or loads listed on these pages. Your firearm may not be able to withstand the pressures generated by the loads and velocities listed in this book. If you aren’t sure about your gun, consult a competent gunsmith. The handloading of ammunition and the discharging of a firearm should never be attempted without the supervision of an adult experienced in both handloading and firearms. Do not attempt to handload ammunition without knowing how to read signs of (excessive) pressure in both guns and ammunition. SAFARI RIFLES II © 2009 by Craig T. Boddington.

  • Wildlife Migratory Corridors and Dispersal Areas
    This report provides a vivid depiction of the state of Kenya’s conservation connectivity both within and outside protected areas, complete with maps and information on historical and recent wildlife migratory routes and corridors on the Kenya rangelands and coastal terrestrial ecosystems. The report is organized under seven major themes: an introductory overview, a brief treatment on the importance of biodiversity conservation for human well-being, and on the Kenya Vision 2030 flagship project on the environment; objectives and study areas; understanding animal movements and connectivity; the methodological approach to conservation connectivity, and the conservation connectivity framework (CCF); migratory routes and corridors for conservation (drivers, pressures, states, impacts, responses, constraints, opportunities, and strategies for securing habitats already interfered with by human activities); infrastructure development, and climate change impacts; and recommendations and a roadmap. Despite the crucial role of migratory routes and corridors in ensuring connectivity of core habitats with critical dispersal areas, these conservation linkages CORRIDORS AND DISPERSAL AREAS • WILDLIFE MIGRATORY continue to be degraded or lost to human activities, imperilling the integrity of ecosystems and increasing human-wildlife conflicts, hampering efforts to promote eco-tourism,, and impoverishing local communitys’ livelihoods, both of which reduce the speed to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
