Should the interests of people or wild animals be the priority in conservation? And should individual animals or groups of animals be the focus?

New research from @WildCRU_Ox shows there's more than just a Global North-South divide on these questions 👇

Conservation priorities often fall within a Global North-South divide, but new research suggests conservation priorities differ more between communities local and distant to conservation sites for a variety of ecological and socio-cultural factors.

Achieving the UN's 30x30 target could create tension between area-based and people-centred conservation. By incorporating perspectives of people living in high-biodiversity areas, decision-makers can promote more equitable and effective conservation.

A new paper by WildCRU’s @mcc_project explores the social acceptability of trophy #hunting and finds public #perceptions to be more pragmatic than is often evident in #media coverage.

[Chris Sutherland @chrissuthy]

Here we try to better understand public perceptions of #trophy #hunting. Been terrific to be able to collaborate (minor role) with terrific colleagues & friends from @WildCRU_Ox who have helped me better appreciate this contentious issue. New paper 👇
