Publications 8. 7. 2024 Recreational killing of wild animals can foster environmental stewardship Proposals to downsize the human population or protect large areas of the planet imply that biodiversity conservation is possible only when humans are excluded, but effective conservation action is shown by groups engaged in consumptive wildlife use.
