After having banned sport hunting in 1979, Uganda reintroduced it in 2001 around Lake Mburo National Park, and in 2006 in the Kabwoya and Kaiso-Tonya Game Management Area, with the aim to reduce human-wildlife conflicts, especially poaching, by providing incentives for the local inhabitants in order to positively change residents’ attitudes towards wildlife. We conducted interviews and reviewed documents to analyse and evaluate the impacts of reintroduction of sport hunting. The income generated from sport hunting was used to provide social services and implement social development projects. There was no proof of hunting income being used for conservation purposes. Although the local perceptions of the sport hunting benefits varied, the benefits did initially help to improve local residents’ attitudes towards wildlife and poaching temporarily stopped—but resumed later. Hence, this study shows that the common underlying assumption of sport hunting policies and other market- and community-based approaches to conservation—that when local residents receive benefits, they will appreciate wildlife—is debatable.

杀死自然去拯救它？乌干达运动狩猎的影响

乌干达在1979年禁止体育运动狩猎之后，于2001年在姆布洛湖国家公园附近重新引入了这项运动，并于2006年在Kabwoya和Kaiso-Tonya游戏管理区重新引入了这项运动，旨在通过提供激励措施减少人类与野生动植物之间的冲突，尤其是偷猎。当地居民，以积极改变居民对野生动植物的态度。我们进行了采访和审查文件，以分析和评估重新引入运动狩猎的影响。运动狩猎产生的收入用于提供社会服务和实施社会发展项目。没有证据证明狩猎收入被用于保护目的。尽管当地人对打猎的好处有不同的看法，这些收益最初确实有助于改善当地居民对野生动植物的态度，并且偷猎被暂时停止，但后来又恢复了。因此，这项研究表明，体育狩猎政策以及其他基于市场和社区的保护方法的共同基本假设-当当地居民获得收益时，他们将欣赏野生动植物-值得商bat。
