The Impact of Trophy Hunting in the Wildlife Conservation

Trophy hunting is a game that is played for human recreation and involves the hunting of wildlife. In this game, the trophy is depicted as a part of the animal which is kept as a reward for the success that they achieve. According to the increase in the number of Namibia trophy hunting can play an essential role in the conservation of wildlife.

It is said that every year around thousands of people come and participate in the hunting activities which are conducted in Namibia. The trend of trophy hunting began in the era when there was plenty of wildlife. Today, the hunting game has become a very popular sport. It requires an individual to have the license and permits for almost all the areas. The wide range of animals that can be hunted for the trophy hunting are buffalo, lion, deer, antelope, musk ox, bighorn sheep, etc. and the list continues.

Some people often confuse the Namibia trophy hunting with the canned hunting. But we can say that it is not the same but a brutal form of trophy hunting. In the canned hunting the animals are held as captives and then are shot by the hunters. The trophy hunting is without the threat of extinction and because of the conservation programs. Hunters have been working towards the prevention or elimination of the species involved in the game.                                             

In Africa, the animals targeted for trophy hunting are very huge and fierce such as lions, which are protected and hence, the hunting is limited. Since there is limited availability of animals for hunting in the different parts of Africa, this naturally increases the competition and prices. This often leads to the hunting of small animals like deer, buffalo, etc. which are available in a huge number.
