In central Mozambique lies the hunting concession Coutada 11 – one of Africa’s most remarkable natural areas, now standing as an example of how ecosystems can be rebuilt after severe decline. Covering nearly 2,000 square kilometers, the area forms part of the biodiverse Marromeu Complex.
During the civil war from 1977 to 1992, wildlife was almost wiped out. Populations of buffalo and other iconic species were reduced to a minimum, and the area was described as a near-empty, heavily poached landscape.
Since the early 1990s, however, targeted conservation efforts and anti-poaching initiatives have reversed the trend. Today, Coutada 11 once again hosts abundant wildlife, including more than 20 big game species and several of Africa’s Big Five.
A key factor behind this success is cooperation with local communities, alongside funding from sustainable hunting and tourism. The resulting revenue has made it possible to maintain anti-poaching patrols while simultaneously creating economic value from preserving nature.
Debatten om jagt som redskab i naturbevarelse rummer et indbygget paradoks. For mange virker det selvmodsigende, at det at nedlægge vilde dyr kan bidrage til at bevare dem og deres
The debate about hunting as a tool in conservation contains an inherent paradox. For many, it seems contradictory that the act of harvesting wild animals can contribute to preserving them
Klodens masse af vilde pattedyr fylder i dag langt mindre end tidligere. For omkring 150 år siden udgjorde vilde pattedyr cirka halvdelen af den samlede biomasse af alle pattedyr på
The world’s wild mammal biomass is significantly smaller today than it once was. Around 150 years ago, wild mammals made up roughly half of the total biomass of all land
