Over the past decade, trophy hunting in Africa has seen increased public and scientific interest. Much of that attention has come from outside of Africa, with little emphasis on local views. We circulated an online survey through international networks to explore demographic and regional differences in opinion regards support for African trophy hunting, trophy import bans, and outside funding of conservation estates supported by hunting. We received ∼5700 responses and found that location, demography, and conservation background influenced opinion. African and North American respondents showed (significantly) more support for trophy hunting than respondents from Europe or other areas, as did respondents with conservation backgrounds. Unlike North Americans, Africans supported external subsidies of wildlife areas presently funded by hunting. Many factors affected opinions on African hunting, but respondent location played a major role. Realistic policy on African trophy hunting should thus integrate African perspectives, in particular those of rural communities.

对非洲战利品狩猎的不同看法，以及这对研究和政策可能意味着什么

在过去的十年里，非洲的战利品狩猎引起了公众和科学界的兴趣。大部分注意力来自非洲以外，很少强调当地的观点。我们通过国际网络传播了一项在线调查，以探讨人口和地区在支持非洲战利品狩猎、战利品进口禁令以及狩猎支持的保护区的外部资金方面的意见差异。我们收到了约 5700 份回复，发现位置、人口统计和保护背景影响了意见。与来自欧洲或其他地区的受访者相比，非洲和北美受访者对战利品狩猎的支持（显着）更多，具有保护背景的受访者也是如此。与北美人不同，非洲人支持对目前由狩猎资助的野生动物地区的外部补贴。许多因素影响了对非洲狩猎的看法，但受访者的位置发挥了重要作用。因此，关于非洲战利品狩猎的现实政策应该整合非洲的观点，特别是农村社区的观点。
