sustainable hunting
Conservation-minded game taking
Sustainable hunting is the practice of harvesting wild animals at rates that allow populations to maintain healthy numbers over time.
The concept balances human use with conservation, factoring in breeding cycles, habitat conditions, and species vulnerability.
Regulated hunting seasons and bag limits aim to make hunting sustainable: The wildlife department sets quotas to ensure sustainable hunting of elk herds.
