A recent paper; The Persistence of Subsistence: Wild Food Harvests in Rural Alaska, 1983-2013 by James S. Magdanz et al. studies subsistence hunting and fishing in Alaska. One key finding is the importance of roads. They state that “Propensity score matching finds that roads have significant, strong, and negative effects on subsistence harvests, but no significant effects on incomes.” Roads make it easier for non-native urban populations to gain from subsistence hunting and fishing. The study is available at https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2779464

I have just completed a book titled "Wildlife Politics" that is scheduled to be published by Cambridge University Press on March 30, 2017. The book covers broadly all major aspects of wildlife conservation policy worldwide. During my research for the book, I noticed that there was no blog available for sharing informaton on wildlife conservation and thus I set up this blog to accomplish this purpose. Please share any informaticoncerning issues related to wildife policy and politics. I welcome feedback from users concerning this blog and website.
