The first most readers have probably been aware of, the cheerleader hunter who has been in the news for, well, hunting game animals and being attractive and blonde. People, they argue, are more important than bugs, and besides, the money will help pay to protect other conservation land. Unsustainable hunting leads to extinction.

Individually, many NWRs protect crucial bird habitat. Because many NWRs were established to protect migrating birds, they lie along one of the four primary flyways. These protected areas are not merely convenient, they are essential. The Refuge System protects and, in some cases, restores, some of what remains.

They look crap but presumably offer some protection for the chicks, though not from each other (see the murderous activities within the nests in my previous post ). They frequently reuse nest holes, thus saving vital natural resources even though cleaning out the used nest hole takes about one week ( source ). Back to birds.

Many of these refuges and associated Conservation Areas, which have the potential to protect more than 1 million acres of vital wildlife habitat, have been forged through creative partnerships with sportsmen, conservation groups and private landowners. She says, “there’s just a cultural bias against anything related to hunting.”

I had never seen this species of kite before, but Guhin explained that they often hunted in the natural acres of the reserve. The trail wove downhill, around farm buildings demonstrative of the agricultural history of the site before it became protected. Guhin knew without binoculars, “ White-tailed Kite ,” she identified.

The recommendations will sound familiar to any birder or naturalist who wants to protect and improve her local patch: Immediately shut down cat feeding stations. This is a project that clearly spanned decades. It’s a very mixed chapter.

Animal Ethics

But prejudices die hard, all the more so when, as in the present case, they are insulated by widespread secular customs and religious beliefs, sustained by large and powerful economic interests, and protected by the common law. To overcome the collective entropy of these forces-against-change will not be easy.

But if you're on the outside, and you're hostile to the idea of respecting the natural lives of sentient nonhumans and you see them only as resources to be managed, might you have a similar idea? Now, I know you're saying: That's not what animal rights is.

Birders who embark on a big year often dedicate a significant amount of time, effort, and resources to travel to different habitats, explore various locations, and encounter a wide range of bird species. Additionally, many birding apps and online resources also provide valuable information and digital field guides for bird identification.

I was especially interested in “To Hide From God,” the chapter on songbird slaughter and protection in Cyprus. The 20-plus list of resources is organized by chapter, so there may be some repeats in the citations I counted, but I doubt there are many.)

This species’ population is suspected to have decreased rapidly, owing to levels of hunting on the staging and wintering grounds, and habitat deterioration (largely as a result of land cultivation). In the Western Palearctic at least 20-30% of the population are shot each year, often accidentally during hunting of other species.”

My post last week where I defended game hunting as a conservation tool has, unaccountably, encountered a certain amount of push back. Who would have thought that a post defending hunting game in general would have not been universally acclaimed? I will address two of them in the new year, namely, “Is hunting moral at all?”

With the proposed hunting seasons on sandhill cranes being discussed in Tennessee, Kentucky and Wisconsin, we must not forget the whooping crane, which travels and winters in the big sandhill crane flocks. More states will doubtless join the queue of those proposing hunts. Another thing to consider. Now, it’s time to go to the top.

The combined effects of hunting, habitat loss and predation by introduced animals like rats and mongoose have extirpated the species from some islands and reduced numbers significantly on others. With assistance from the Negril Area Environmental Protection Trust (NEPT) a boardwalk and nature centre have been established.

Although this park was logged in the past, as a national park it is one of the few forests in Ghana that is really protected. . Now that the colony is off limits for hunting, the population has grown and the village is benefitting tremendously from entry and guide fees, and a school is being built courtesy of conservation funds.

This Lion should not be shot, as it is a protected reserve that forbids shooting. The answer should be obvious to anyone familiar with wildfowl hunting in the US and the film Jerry McGuire – money.
