This Draft Plan Is Not Geared Towards Conservation, It Is Designed Favor Trophy Hunting From: terri register To: GFP Mountain Lion Plan Cc: [email protected] Subject: [EXT] Date: Saturday, August 24, 2019 8:46:10 PM To whom it may concern: Your proposed plan needs more consideration based on the following points: This draft plan is not geared towards conservation, it is designed favor trophy hunting. Mountain lions can manage their own numbers and do not need concentrated human effort. Hunting is not effective because it kills the lions least likely to come into conflict with people, pets and livestock. What is left is young dispersing lions that are most likely to come into conflict. Non-lethal management is more effective. Killing female mountain lions leaves behind orphaned kittens. Hunting leaves kittens to die a cruel death from starvation, dehydration, and exposure. Mountain lions are a critical species in their ecosystems, maintaining biological diversity and other benefits to people. Please reconsider your proposed plan and create a more humane and ecologically sound proposal. Respectfully, Terri Register [email protected] From: Dean Parker To: GFP Mountain Lion Plan Subject: [EXT] Comments on 2019-2029 South Dakota Mountain Lion Plan Date: Sunday, August 25, 2019 7:10:29 PM Please remove the arbitrary and unnecessary population objective/cap on mountain lions in the Black Hills, currently listed as 200 to 300 cats in the draft plan. The Black Hills is able to safely accommodate a much larger population of mountain lions than 200-300. Trophy hunting is not an effective way to prevent conflicts with mountain lions. Killing mountain lions is harmful to their social structure and actually increases conflicts with humans, pets and livestock. The draft plan allows for high levels of trophy hunting to address conflicts with livestock. However, as the plan shows, mountain lions rarely prey on livestock. South Dakota Game Fish and Parks should prioritize managing mountain lions for the social and ecological benefits they provide to all South Dakotans and our natural landscape, rather than manage mountain lions for maximum trophy hunting opportunity as the draft plan does. Dean Parker 2905 East 33rd Street Sioux Falls, SD 57103 605-360-3571 From: Sara Parker To: GFP Mountain Lion Plan Subject: [EXT] Comments on the South Dakota Mountain Lion Draft Plan Date: Sunday, August 25, 2019 6:54:41 PM I’m writing to ask you to remove the arbitrary and unnecessary population objective/cap on mountain lions in the Black Hills, currently listed as 200 to 300 cats in the draft plan. The Black Hills is able to safely accommodate a much larger population of mountain lions, as the 2017/18 preseason population estimate for the Black Hills was approximately 532 total mountain lions. Trophy hunting is not an effective way to prevent conflicts with mountain lions. Killing mountain lions is harmful to their social structure and actually increases conflicts with humans, pets and livestock.

Thank you, Sara Parker Sioux Falls, SD 605-376-9073 From: Brett Koenecke To: GFP Mountain Lion Plan Subject: [EXT] Comments Date: Tuesday, August 13, 2019 11:39:35 AM I am a landowner in the Black Hills. I also have a vacation business and have domestic animals. I think the stated goals in the management plan are too high. 150 is plenty. 50 is ok. 0 would be perfectly fine. I am unconvinced that the population goals should be raised at all. This is a bad decision to make and the Commission should reject it. Brett Koenecke Custer, SD From: Anna Br-An To: GFP Mountain Lion Plan Cc: [email protected] Subject: [EXT] Draft Lion Management Plan 2019-2029 Date: Sunday, August 25, 2019 5:20:41 AM South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks 523 E Capitol Pierre SD 57501 Sir, madam, to whom it concerns: I read your draft plan and find that unfortunately it is designed to manage mountain lions for maximum trophy hunting opportunity, not for conservation! Mountain lions regulate their own numbers and do not require intense management to limit their populations. Hunting is a bad tool, killing the lions least likely to come into conflict with people, pets and livestock, and creating more space for young dispersing lions that are most likely to come into conflict. Non-lethal methods are more effective and last longer. Killing female mountain lions results in the orphaning of their kittens. Hunting leaves kittens to die from starvation, dehydration, and exposure. Mountain lions are a keystone species in their ecosystems, maintaining biological diversity and other benefits to people. I urge you to end the hunting of these precious mountain lions. There's just too little habitat, too much human-caused mortality, and too few mountain lions to justify a hunt.

  • Elephant Report Press Release
    CAMPAIGN TO BAN TROPHY HUNTING www.bantrophyhunting.org PRESS RELEASE date: immediate Monday 8th April 2019 ​ ​ Contact: Eduardo Gonçalves 0782 682 4384 William Shatner, Edward Norton & Michael Palin call on Theresa May to ban hunting trophy imports Shock new figures reveal 100,000 elephant hunting trophies taken - as population falls by ONE MILLION The Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting has today revealed that the amount of ivory taken by trophy hunters has increased TWELVE-FOLD over the past 30 years. The group said Britain is one of a ‘Deadly Dozen’ countries whose hunters have inflicted huge damage to Africa’s dwindling elephant populations. It also named a man who has shot FIVE THOUSAND elephants. The revelations come as campaigners prepare to converge on Downing Street on April 13 to demand that the British Prime Minister stops hunters bringing back trophies to the U.K. A letter demanding a U.K. ban on trophies has been signed by the leaders of 70 wildlife and animal welfare groups around the world, including Africa and the US, as well as international stars William Shatner and Edward Norton. In a new report, the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting says Britain is one of just 12 countries in the world whose hunters have taken both 1,000+ trophies and brought home over a tonne ​ ​ of ivory from elephants killed for ‘sport’. The investigation by the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting (CBTH) reveals that hunters from around the globe have taken home a staggering total of 100,000 African elephant ‘trophies’ ​ ​ since the 1980s. Elephant populations have plummeted from around 1.3 million to just over 400,000 over the ​ ​ ​ ​ same period.

  • WWF Policy and Considerations on Trophy Hunting
    WWF Policy and Considerations on Trophy Hunting Trophy hunting is a form of wildlife use that involves paying for a hunting experience that results in a trophy for the hunter. Because of the distinct differences between conservation approaches for terrestrial and marine species, WWF’s trophy hunting policy covers only terrestrial species. Many countries utilize trophy hunting as a wildlife conservation and management tool within the broader framework of sustainable use programmes. When unmanaged or improperly managed, trophy hunting can have serious detrimental impacts on wildlife. Thus, in some circumstances, WWF provides scientific and technical advice when requested by relevant stakeholders (e.g., government and local authorities, local communities and private land owners), to improve the management of such programmes in order to assist them in providing benefits to species populations and/or habitats, and to local communities. WWF recognizes the diversity of cultural attitudes, opinions, and ethics with regards to trophy hunting. Ultimately, it is up to governments and local communities to determine and implement the strategies that best serve their wildlife and people. Trophy hunting—where it is based on a clear scientific understanding of species population dynamics and is properly managed—has been proven to be an effective conservation tool in some countries and for certain species, including threatened species. Trophy hunting can generate substantial economic benefits, community and political support, and have direct benefits

  • Status of the African Wild Dog in the Bénoué Complex, North Cameroon
    Croes et al. African wild dogs in Cameroon Copyright © 2012 by the IUCN/SSC Canid Specialist Group. ISSN 1478-2677 Distribution Update Status of the African wild dog in the Bénoué Complex, North Cameroon 1* 2,3 1 1 Barbara Croes , Gregory Rasmussen , Ralph Buij and Hans de Iongh 1 Institute of Environmental Sciences (CML), University of Leiden, The Netherlands 2 Painted dog Conservation (PDC), Hwange National Park, Box 72, Dete, Zimbabwe 3 Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, Department of Zoology, University of Oxford South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS, UK * Correspondence author Keywords: Lycaon pictus, North Cameroon, monitoring surveys, hunting concessions Abstract The status of the African wild dog Lycaon pictus in the West and Central African region is largely unknown. The vast areas of unspoiled Sudano-Guinean savanna and woodland habitat in the North Province of Cameroon provide a potential stronghold for this wide-ranging species. Nevertheless, the wild dog is facing numerous threats in this ar- ea, mainly caused by human encroachment and a lack of enforcement of laws and regulations in hunting conces- sions. Three years of surveys covering over 4,000km of spoor transects and more than 1,200 camera trap days, in addition to interviews with local stakeholders revealed that the African wild dog in North Cameroon can be consid- ered functionally extirpated. Presence of most other large carnivores is decreasing towards the edges of protected areas, while presence of leopard and spotted hyaena is negatively associated with the presence of villages. Lion numbers tend to be lower inside hunting concessions as compared to the national parks.

  • Mountain City, Ruby Mountains, and Jarbidge Combined Travel
    Mountain City, Ruby Mountains and Jarbidge Ranger Districts Combined Travel Management Project Environmental Impact Statement Chapter 3. Affected Environment and Environmental Consequences 3.1. Introduction This chapter summarizes the physical, biological, social, and economic environments that are affected by the alternatives and the effects on that environment that would result from implementation of any of the alternatives. This chapter also presents the scientif ic and analyt ical basis for comparison of the alternatives presented in chapter 2. 3.1.1. Analysis Process Most of the data used in the following analysis are from the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest corporate GIS layers. There is a certain amount of error in the location and alignments included in this GIS data. For example, the road layer overlying the stream layer may show more stream crossings than actually exist on the ground because of the different sources from which the different layers were obtained. Some perennial streams may show up on the map as being intermittent. This may also create some inaccuracies as to the exact location and extent of riparian zones. The Forest is constantly working to improve map accuracies and the corporate GIS layers. For the purposes of this analysis, the best data that is available was used. The data in the tables below and in the project record depict with a reasonable amount of accuracy what would be occurring on the ground for each alternative, within the limitations described above. The changes between alternatives remain relative to each other. 3.1.2. Cumulative Effects According to the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) National Environmental Protection Ac t (NEPA) regulations, “cumulative impact” is the impact on the environment which results from the incremental impact of the action when added to other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions regardless of what agency (federal or non-federal) or person undertakes such actions (40 CFR 1508.7).

    Development of Trophy Hunting Among Previously Disadvantaged Farmers in Namibia SUBMITTED BY: George Abbiati, John Croteau, Lindsay Mitchel, Melissa Samaroo 3 May 2013 SPONSORED BY: 0 ADS D131 49-23087 Development of Trophy Hunting Among Previously Disadvantaged Farmers in Namibia An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science Sponsoring Agencies: Namibia Tourism Board On-Site Liaisons: Manfred !Gaeb, Strategic Executive of Industry Services at Namibia Tourism Board Ricardo Jansen, Inspector at Namibia Tourism Board Juliet Isaacs, Inspector at Namibia Tourism Board Submitted to: Project Advisor: Alexander Smith, WPI Professor Project Co-advisor: Creighton Peet, WPI Professor Submitted by: George Abbiati John Croteau Lindsay Mitchel Melissa Samaroo Date: 3 May 2013 i Abstract The Namibia Tourism Board determined that 1 of 555 trophy hunting operators in Namibia is previously disadvantaged. Our goal was to make recommendations to the NTB on how previously disadvantaged farmers can enter the industry. This was accomplished through interviews and a survey of existing operators, interviews with interested cattle farmers, and on- site evaluations of 13 potential farms. Conclusions and recommendations included personalized feedback to farmers, an informational pamphlet, and recommendations to the NTB on how to successfully support these farmers. i Acknowledgements We would like to thank the following people for their assistance with our project: The Namibia Tourism Board for giving us such an amazing project, their hospitality, and for arranging our office.
