The idea of hunting down and shooting an animal for sport strikes many people as barbaric. That is doubly true of trophy hunting, where the goal is not food but a handsome head or set of antlers for the wall. Sad it may be, but the balance of evidence is that trophy hunting can help conserve threatened species and their habitats, so for people who care about the fate of wildlife the real question is not whether to allow hunting, but how to manage it.
Done properly, trophy hunting can provide a source of jobs and income, and thus give local communities a reason to protect wildlife and habitats that might otherwise be sacrificed to rural villagers’ need to put meat on the table. Countries that can attract jeep loads of camera-toting tourists can get along without trophy hunting: Kenya does not need it, for example. But it comes into its own in marginal habitats that lack lush diversity, such as the arid scrubland of Botswana, and in countries with the uncertain political climates of Zimbabwe and Pakistan.
Done wrongly, of course, trophy hunting provides none of these benefits, as foreign operators fly in, shoot, and fly out again with wallets full of cash, leaving little or no benefit to the local economy. Finding a balance between profit for the hunt operator and benefits to conservation is one of the biggest challenges facing the regulators of hunting.
Another challenge is emerging that needs to be kept under close attention; while there is little chance these days of species being driven towards extinction by legal trophy hunting, biologists are just becoming aware that hunters may harm their prey populations in more subtle ways. They may inadvertently be taking the most genetically fit animals. Clearly, nations that opt to allow trophy hunting have a responsibility to pay close attention to the details.
Surveys by Peter Lindsey of the University of Zimbabwe suggest that, given a choice, the majority of hunters would prefer to book conservation-friendly hunts. However, there is no easy way at the moment to tell the good operators from the bad. One step that might help sort them out is an international certification system that could award accreditation to nations and hunt operators that keep quotas sustainable and funnel a good share of their revenue to local communities. Such a system already exists to recognise lumber products from sustainable forestry. Maybe now is the time for environmental groups to take a deep breath and throw their weight behind a "Green Hunting" seal of approval.
If managed improperly, trophy hunting______.
选项
A、will benefit foreign operators much less
B、initiates an imbalance in wildlife conservation
C、provides little benefit to the local communities
D、aggravates the political climates of countries involved
答案
C
解析
根据第三段第一句“Done wrongly,…trophy hunting provides none of these benefits…leaving little or no benefit to the local economy”,C应为答案。
