SUMMARY:Private Owernship of Wildlife in South Africa: economics and conservation
DESCRIPTION:The Harvard College Conservation Society invites you to attend:
Private Owernship of Wildlife in South Africa: economics and conservation
In a guest lecture featuring Professor van Hoven, students will learn about the concept of private ownership of wildlife and the contribution that this can make in Africa towards the conservation of wildlife and habitat. 75% of all wildlife in South Africa belongs to non-state enterprises and requires the attention of vet/vet techs on a regular basis.
After thirty years as a distinguished academic and researcher in Wildlife Management at the University of Pretoria, Prof Wouter van Hoven retired in 2012. Dr. van Hoven served as an Associate Professor at the University of Pretoria since 1989. He is an accomplished scholar in the areas of wildlife management and the African landscape. He is also a founder of the Noah’s Ark Project in Africa, an organization responsible for the repopulation of large animals (i.e. elephants, hippos, and lions) in areas devastated by drought, war, or poachers. In addition to authoring over 100 scientific publications, reports, and chapters, Dr. van Hoven has served as a consultant in community and extension projects in Africa, Europe, and the United States.
