Managing a Migratory Species That Is Both a Value and a Pest
研究挪威驼鹿因季节性迁徙在不同区域造成啃食损害和狩猎价值的问题,分析秋季和冬季狩猎季节调整对收益分配和总净效益的影响,并用实际案例说明。
Wild animals can represent both value and nuisance. We consider the moose (Alces alces), which due to seasonal migration causes browsing damage in some areas, while creating hunting value in other areas. We first explore a situation when harvesting, following today’s practice in Norway, only takes place in the fall. Next, the season is extended to include winter harvesting. It is shown how this redistributes harvesting benefits between areas and landowners, and under which conditions total net benefit increases. The model is illustrated by a real life example from the Swe-Nor moose region some 250 kilometers north of Oslo, Norway.
