Lions, trophy hunting and beyond, known unknowns and why they matter
- Abstract:
- What does trophy hunting contribute to wild lion conservation? What constitutes best practice? D.W. Macdonald (2016) summarises what we know. However, in the much, but perhaps unfairly, mocked words of Donald Rumsfeld, there are knowns, known unknowns and unknown unknowns. We identified gaps in knowledge inhibiting conservation planning in several areas: these areas included the causes of lion mortality, the amount of land used for lion trophy hunting, the extent to which trophy hunting depends on lions for financial viability, and the vulnerability of areas currently used for trophy hunting to conversion to non wildlife-based land uses if it were to cease.
