More Biodiversity - More Carnivores - No Hunting

Beskrivelse

This book explores how humans can support biodiversity and ecological balance by reducing mammal hunting and preserving carnivores at the top of food chains. It highlights the missed opportunity to protect ecosystems due to the political influence of hunting organizations.

Advocating for ecological stability through less hunting and stronger food networks dominated by carnivores.

In this thought-provoking work, Stig Nordskilde examines the role humans play in fostering biodiversity by cutting back on mammal hunting and ensuring that carnivores remain central to food networks. He points out that despite the potential to enhance ecological stability, this chance has largely been overlooked because hunting groups hold significant political power.

Nordskilde contrasts the original necessity of hunting for sustenance with its current status as a detached pastime or what he terms a cultural psychopathy, especially considering that only a small fraction of the population participates in hunting.

As a Danish lawyer, the author has dedicated himself to defending ecosystems rich in biodiversity and opposing hunters who disrupt food chains by killing both carnivores and herbivores. His expertise is backed by extensive study of mammalian behavior and photographic documentation from regions across the northern hemisphere, including Alaska, the Yukon, Greenland, Svalbard, and Scandinavia.
