{"title":"Does hunting benefit wildlife conservation?","authors":"Jerrold L Belant,&nbsp;Kevin C Elliott,&nbsp;Jacob E Hill,&nbsp;Kenneth F Kellner","doi":"10.1002/fee.2864","DOIUrl":"10.1002/fee.2864","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Considerable debate surrounds whether hunting, especially “trophy” hunting, benefits wildlife conservation (eg Hare &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). Although hunting has adversely impacted some species historically and currently, we contend that hunting can also benefit wildlife conservation, defined here as the long-term, sustainable maintenance of wildlife species and their habitat. We suggest broadly that hunting supports wildlife conservation when the long-term benefits to wildlife exceed the long-term costs thereof.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hunting benefits wildlife conservation in several ways, one of which is by reducing land-use change. When land is conserved primarily for hunting and is not substantially altered for other uses (eg crop or livestock agriculture, human development), hunting can facilitate the protection of land and the biodiversity and ecosystem processes therein. Another way is by reducing wildlife hyperabundance. The harvest of individuals from populations that exceed ecological carrying capacity can offset the impacts of overherbivory by some ungulate species and corresponding loss of plant biodiversity (Reed &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). Hunting also has the potential to limit disease transmission or disease prevalence. For example, the prevalence of chronic wasting disease in mule deer (&lt;i&gt;Odocoileus hemionus&lt;/i&gt;) was reduced after increased harvests of male deer (Conner &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition, by funding anti-poaching efforts, hunting can help to reduce illegal harvests of wildlife. In parts of Africa, anti-poaching efforts are often supported by—and in some countries like Zambia, required of—hunting outfitters (Lewis and Alpert &lt;span&gt;1997&lt;/span&gt;). A moratorium on legal hunting in Botswana reportedly resulted in an increase in poaching incidents (Mbaiwa &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;). Perhaps counterintuitively, limited, selective harvest of certain threatened species can aid in their protection. For instance, revenues generated from highly regulated sustainable harvests of a few, typically older male, black rhinos (&lt;i&gt;Diceros bicornis&lt;/i&gt;) have benefitted, as opposed to compromised, species recovery and habitat conservation (‘t Sas-Rolfes &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). A moratorium on hunting rhinos is expected to adversely impact rhino conservation (‘t Sas-Rolfes &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). Other forms of economic support for wildlife conservation may also originate from hunting. In the US, the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937 generated almost $1.2 billion (all monetary values are expressed in US dollars) from taxation on firearms and hunting equipment during 2023 alone, of which about $962 million was allocated to wildlife management and conservation (USFWS &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;); likewise, fees associated with hunting licenses generated about $1.1 billion in 2024 (USFWS &lt;span&gt;2025&lt;/span&gt;), which was used by state agencies largely for wildlife conservation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Local economies can al","PeriodicalId":171,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment","volume":"23 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fee.2864","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144927496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we describe benefit trajectories for biodiversity, nutrient retention, and soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation up to a decade after conversion of marginal farmlands to grasslands or wetlands. Even in small areas that were restored, biodiversity increased across most trophic levels, driven by colonization of non-agronomic taxa. Nutrient retention by grassland buffers was substantive but seasonal, with losses common outside of the growing season. Although initial SOC gains were modest, a 20-fold increase in recalcitrant root biomass to a depth of 60 cm suggests that SOC storage will accelerate. Overall, even if it were unable to unilaterally and immediately offset nutrient pollution or SOC loss, restoration created multiple benefits.

A kinglet chattered in an alligator juniper. We (three ecologists and a conceptual media artist) had just arrived at our field sites in the Santa Catalina Mountains outside of Tucson, Arizona. Our bags were packed with vials and nets, forceps and paint pens, cameras and notebooks. We were there to investigate how a small metallic-green bee makes a living in a rapidly changing world. We had worked in this mid-elevation desert shrubland before and we knew of its natural history. Our starting point would be to look for flowering manzanita shrubs, which are the only plants in bloom this time of year and serve as the bees’ exclusive food source.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We surveyed the dry hills, examining hundreds of manzanita shrubs. But after nearly twenty hours of searching, we could not find a single flower, let alone a single bee. Field work does not always go according to plan, but this was extreme. As we came to the realization that all the flower buds had aborted this year because of drought, our confusion shifted to despair. We had received funding for a multi-year project contingent on finding these flowers and the bees that forage from them. If there were no flowers this year, then a population crash for the bees seemed plausible, and our entire project might very well be jeopardized.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unsure of our next steps, we wandered and wondered. At first, our conversations attempted to reconcile what we were seeing with our prior understanding of the system. But as we slowed down, our confusion and despair morphed into inquiry and curiosity. What was actually going on here? Had the bees emerged and died? Or instead dispersed, flying epic distances in search of a manzanita oasis? Had they sensed portending drought and entered dormancy, skipping the dry year altogether? Maybe they had emerged and were hiding in plain sight? Digging into any of these hypotheses would teach us new things about how these organisms make—or do not make—a living in a rapidly changing world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many months and miles removed from The Catalinas, we continued to ruminate on the enduring and grounding value of cultivating curiosity in our practice. From one perspective, our expedition was a fruitless failure, but from another, it delivered in abundance. We asked questions that we had not planned on asking; we imagined experiments that we could not have otherwise imagined; and we were able to chart a path forward that was rooted firmly in our observations of time and place. We had found ourselves with an entirely different set of ideas, studies, and experiments that would help propel the project forward.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Confronting uncertainty head-on can be confusing, slow, and uncomfortable; and it can also be at odds with the very real incentive structures (jobs, promotions, grants) and value systems (publications, grants, citations) that shape our practice in the product-oriented culture of contemporary science.
