The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation
“The North American model of wildlife conservation has seven components that collectively form a foundation that yields its distinct structure:
1. Wildlife as public trust resources
2. Elimination of markets for wildlife
3. Allocation of wildlife by law
4. Wildlife can only be killed for a legitimate purpose
5. Wildlife are considered an international resource
6. Science is the proper tool for discharge of wildlife policy
7. Democracy of hunting
It is hunters, or, more accurately, hunting, that led to the development of the components listed above that form the foundation for North American wildlife conservation.”
– Valerius Geist, Shane P. Mahoney, John F. Organ, 2001
