Alaska wolf-control program offers cash to hunterstinyurl.com/52kta79eHunters will now get cash and other incentives to kill wolves under Alaska's predator-control program that aims to protect moose populations, state officials said on Wednesday.Alaska's Department of Fish and Game announced it will give $150 for every left foreleg of a wolf killed in the five areas where state officials are hoping to cull packs.The incentives are an extension of Alaska's controversial aerial wolf-control program, which allows hunters with permits to shoot the animals from aircraft.American "promotion of hunting" is ruining the environmentA new study has found that Americans are keen to prioritize rewilding key species rather than hunting.photo: @John E.

Scientists Warn American 'Promotion of Hunting' Is Ruining the Environmenttinyurl.com/5de75xfvScientists have warned that a strong focus on hunting—instead of rewilding key species—is "reinforcing" biodiversity loss.Parts of the U.S. are currently facing a biodiversity crisis for a variety of reasons including habitat degradation, invasive species, and climate change.A new study published in the journal BioScience reported that state agencies are taking "the provisioning of hunting opportunities as their top priority."Among species of wildlife, relatively few are hunted. So the focus on hunted species can tend toward the homogenization of wildlife communities, reinforcing the loss of biodiversity," John A. Vucetich, a distinguished professor of wildlife conservation at Michigan Technological University, who worked on the study, told Newsweek.For example, the species of wild mammal with the most biomass on the planet is white-tailed deer. Overabundant deer populations have a negative impact on biodiversity—manifest mainly through over-browsing. The overabundance of deer is importantly a result of efforts to maximize deer abundance for the sake of hunting. Also, for example, considerable effort is devoted to promoting pheasant populations in several states for the sake of hunting, even though pheasants are not even part of these states' native biodiversity."A survey undertaken as part of the study found that Americans are not happy with the way things are currently run. The study found that Americans, even those who identified as hunters themselves, did not support the prioritization of hunting. ... See MoreSee Less
