With legislation planned to ban trophy imports to the UK, it's time to realise real world conservation is complex, evidence needs to lead, & we need to listen to those nations that do "rather better" than us at conservation. I'm quoted in this Voice of America piece

But every time from now on that they say "the UK public wants this import ban" (and they say this a lot) they should be reminded that the UK public also wants an export ban. So if they're going to use the UK public as their main reason to push for bans, they shouldn't get to pick and choose.

This is one of them, and it tells us (1) that most UK respondents don't care much about African jobs and (2) they are just as much - or more - against domestic trophy hunting and UK trophy exports as they are against it in Africa and the imports.

I've made threads on X about all other trophy hunting surveys so far, so might as well keep it up and try it here. This survey is from July 2024, but I hadn't noticed it until now.

It's Friday, which means it's Wildlife Crime day @uniofglos.bsky.social - a new module this year and one that I'm hugely enjoying. Today, we're joined by a former student here who worked with the police and is now a lecturer and researcher on wildlife crime in the UK. And then we learn about ivory.
