Wild harvests and conservation permits generate billions in value, yet their role in funding conservation and sustaining communities is often overlooked. Join Shane Mahoney and Gray Thornton to uncover how hunting, fishing, and innovative funding models shape one of North America’s most vital — but hidden — economies.
Descripción de la sesión
Wildlife harvests are more than tradition — they sustain rural economies, provide nutrition for millions, and represent billions in dollars in hidden value. “Wild Harvests, Human Benefits: North America’s Overlooked Economy” presents new data showing how hunting, fishing, and wild food gathering generate wide-ranging economic and ecological benefits. “From One Tag to a Global Model: The Story of Conservation Permits” explores the “wild sheep economy,” where conservation permits have become the backbone of bighorn restoration, providing over 80% of funding in North America and now inspiring models abroad. Together, these talks reveal how wild harvests and conservation finance are powering Human-Centred Conservation and securing future benefits for both people and wildlife.Organised by
