đź“š Lecture: "Debunked: Trophy Hunting & Wildlife Conservation"
🎤 Speaker: Brant MacDuff
Join us for an enlightening evening with Brant MacDuff as we delve into the complex world of trophy hunting and its impact on wildlife conservation. This talk will examine the realities of big game hunting and how it often contrasts with public perception.
Brant will explore the consequences of hunting around the globe, revealing why these practices can be overwhelmingly beneficial to wildlife populations and ecosystems. From Africa to Tajikistan, Mongolia, India, Russia, Spain, the UK, and New Zealand, we’ll embark on a “magic school bus” journey to understand the nuanced dynamics of hunting and conservation.
Brant MacDuff is a wildlife conservation historian who focuses on conservation strategy and economics. His passion for wildlife has led him to communicate effective conservation strategies to the public, bridging the gap between emotion and science. His book, The Shotgun Conservationist, offers an informative perspective on wildlife conservation economics through the eyes of someone who evolved from skepticism of hunting to becoming its advocate.
Don’t miss this opportunity to reassess what you think you know about hunting and its role in conservation!
