Important Basis

Hunting is an important basis for conservation, but hunters are surprisingly scarce in global networks of environmental advocacy and governance, and hunting management systems are not given the attention they should receive. This article reveals the messages promoted by hunting advocates through an analysis of museum representations and interviews in order to understand the limitations of and basis upon which further integration of hunters into conservation advocacy circles worldwide could occur. Museums feature representations that reflect the cultural elucidations of their host organization. This article will show how the International Wildlife Museum—maintained by Safari Club International—produces messages of the inseparability of humans from nature, purposive management of nature, dependence upon global capitalism and predation, and the neutrality of scientific knowledge. Through these messages a narrative space for the management of wildlife is produced that attempts to unite the commodification and conservation of nature, namely, “sustainable hunting”. This article concludes by identifying contradictions among the messages of sustainable hunting that may limit hunting advocates' ability to work with other stakeholders to further improve hunting management systems.

The systematic study and assessment of the damage by big game in forest hunting grounds in Serbia was infrequent, although the damage was evident. The objective of this paper is to identify the rates and types of damage by red deer and wild boar at three localities: (1) fenced part of the hunting ground 'Crni Lug' (Srem), (2) fenced part of the hunting ground 'Podunavsko Loviste Plavna' (Southwestern Backa), and (3) fenced rearing centre 'Lomnicka Reka' (Mt. Veliki Jastrebac). The damage was not recorded on locality (1). The damage on locality (2) (new polar plantations) and locality (3) (beech forests) was caused by red deer. The main causes of the damage were excessive density and disturbed population structure (sex and age), nonharmonised forest and hunting management, shortage of natural food, especially of pasture areas.

The Subject

The purpose of the article is to carry out a thorough SWOT-analysis of theactivity of the State Enterprise «Mykolaiv Regional Forestry and Hunting Management» as a necessary factor for the formation of a crisis management system of forestry enterprises in the South of Ukraine. The identified potential threatsand inherent weaknesses in the activity of the investigated enterprise require theprompt implementation of an appropriate financial, economic and organizationaltechnical mechanism for the exit of the subject of economic activity from the crisis.Мethodology of the research is to use a set of methods: expert evaluation,comparative and system analysis. This methodological approach made it possibleto analyze the weaknesses and strengths of the activity of the studied enterpriseand to justify the use of a certain strategy on it. The scientific novelty of theobtained results is to investigate the possibility of using separate strategies in theactivities of forestry enterprises in the South of Ukraine. The scientific noveltyof the obtained results is to investigate the possibility of using separate strategiesin the activities of forestry enterprises in the South of Ukraine. The necessity toimplement a strategy aimed at enhancing the ecological and protective function offorest plantations is substantiated. The scientific conclusions drawn on the chosenstrategy determine the necessary directions for the development and implementationof the appropriate mechanism for crisis management of subsidized forestryenterprises. Conclusions. The conducted SWOT-analysis of the activity of the StateEnterprise “Mykolaiv Regional Forestry and Hunting Management” revealed theweaknesses and strengths of the entity, singled out the existing opportunities andpotential threats of the enterprise. The possibility of using a strategy aimed atenhancing the ecological and protective function of forest plantations in theactivities of forestry enterprises in the South of Ukraine has been proved. Thedetermined strategy necessitates further research on the formation of componentsof the respective mechanism of crisis management of forestry enterprises in theSouth of Ukraine.

Starting from the internationally adopted definition of sustainable forest management, this paper points to the demands of sustainable forest management that can be satisfied by meeting the definite assumptions. The first part presents the objectives of forest and woodland management planning and utilisation, hunting management, and protection of protected areas, as well as the all-inclusive compatible goals of forest policy in Serbia. The second part presents the analysis of the present state of forests in Serbia, in relation to the Pan-European criteria for the assessment of sustainability, and the potentials of our forests to meet all the demands.

Common Quail

We investigated the patterns of post–breeding movements of the common quail (Coturnix coturnix) in the Iberian peninsula with the aim of describing its migratory phenology and some physiological features of individuals. This information is needed to adjust hunting seasons in an optimal way. We worked with two data–sets: a) captures made in a non–breeding site (Garraf) from August to October in 2009 and 2010; b) post–breeding recoveries of individuals ringed in Europe and recaptured in Spain between 1933 and 2005. The results showed that post–breeding movements in Garraf occur in two waves: a first wave that occurs around 10 VIII and is mainly composed of non–sexually active yearlings that do not correspond physiologically to migrants, and a second much more intense wave, which occurs around 17 IX and is mainly composed of non–sexually active migrant yearlings. The hunting season in Spain takes place mainly during the first wave, preserving the passage of migrant individuals from Spain and other European countries. Information on the post–breeding movements in other Spanish regions and other European countries where the common quail is a popular game species would improve timing between the hunting season and migration by providing more precise recommendations for hunting management.
