From a perspective critical of hunting, #trophyhunting is emblematic of a profound failure of #wildlife conservation and ethical treatment of wild #animals. The marketing and pricing of kills reduce highly developed, social animals like elephants and lions to mere consumer goods for wealthy hunting tourists. According to many #animalwelfare organizations, this practice not only violates German animal welfare law but also fundamental principles of #speciesconservation.

#Calgarians interested in preserving #biodiversity & ensuring the survival of #Canadian species will have an opportunity to actively participate in #SpeciesConservation later this year.

The #WilderInstitute will be launching a first-of-its-kind engagement with community groups through requests for proposals as part of a broader Wilder #Canada #ActionPlan to save imperiled species globally, announced on May 15.
