JAGsTryDpUNTE ONNODIG
Met “Die vryheid om te jag” as visie, lewer Stephen Palos, voorsitter vandie SA Jagterskonfederasie (Chasa), in hierdie uitgawe ʼn insiggewendeen omvattende bydrae oor die jagterskwessies wat deesdae kort-kortkop uitsteek en dikwels ondeurdagte debatte tussen bedryfsgenote aandie gang sit.
Hy ontbloot die skynheiligheid van jagters wat in die algemeenbesware het teen die teel van diere wat spesifiek vir die jagmark bestemis, maar terselfdertyd verdoem hy onheilighede wat wel plaasvind waaroningeligte buitelandse jagters se dollars op bedrieglike wyse bekomword. Die verskil tussen “moord” op geblikte leeus en die jag van leeuswat in gevangenskap geteel is en volgens norme en standaarde gejagword, word duidelik uitgebeeld. Die mikpunt is om hierdie praktyk sowettig en deursigtig te maak as enige ander jagte wat aangebied word.
Stephen kyk ook na die kontroversiële teel van kleurvariante en hui-wer nie om te erken dat daar reeds ʼn toenemende vraag na kleurvari-ante by jagters is nie, wat verder behoort te groei as pryse ʼn verwagtedaling bereik. Hy lig ook uit dat daar onder huidige praktyke nie ʼn gevaarbestaan dat die spesies wat tans volop is as gevolg van kleurvariante,bedreig word nie. Hy bied ʼn alternatiewe siening oor “modern geteelde”trofeë en kom tot die slotsom dat volhoubare benutting vir beide vleisjagen trofeejag geld.
Die wyse gevolgtrekking is dat verskilpunte onderling deur verteen-woordigende organisasies uitgeklaar moet word en dat daar nie skiet-goed aan die “anti’s” deur onderlinge struwelinge gegee word nie.
HUNTING’s CONTENTIOUs IssUEs UNNECEssAry
With “The freedom to hunt” as vision, Stephen Palos, chair of the SAHunters’ Confederation (Chasa), provides an informative and compre-hensive insight into those hunters’ issues that have been surfacing fre-quently and quite often lead to ill-considered debate between industryassociates.
He reveals the hypocrisy of hunters that generally object to the breed-ing of animals specifically for the hunting market, but, at the same time,condemns the wrongful practices where ignorant foreign hunters’ dollarsare taken through deceptive means. He clearly differentiates betweenthe “murder” of canned lions and the hunting of lions bred in captivityand hunted according to norms and standards, with the aim to make thispractice as legal and transparent as any other hunts offered.
Stephen also looks at the controversial breeding of colour variantsand does not hesitate to acknowledge that there is already a growingdemand for colour variants from hunters, which should increase evenmore when prices start to decrease as is expected. He also stressesthat there is no danger that species that are in abundance are put at riskby colour variants through current practices. He offers an alternativeview of “modern-bred” trophies and reaches the conclusion that sustain-able utilisation applies to both meat and trophy hunting.
The wise conclusion is that contentious issues should be cleared upamongst representative organisations and that the “antis” should not begiven leverage through these points in dispute.

sustainable hunting and fishing,including falconry, as part of pro-tected area management, have theability to support livelihoods andcultures, increase food security,generate income, maintain wildlifenumbers within the ecological andsocial carrying capacity of the envi-ronment, and build crucial local sup-port for the conservation of biodi-versity and habitats.
This was the conclusion reached at
a joint panel discussion presented
by the FAO and the CIC entitled ‘Pro-
tected Areas and Sustainable Hunting
and Fishing’ in November 2014. The
discussion formed part of a session on
Supporting Human Life during the
World Parks Congress of the Interna-
tional Union for Conservation of Nature
(IUCN) in Sydney, Australia.
“In the past, local people were often
excluded from protected areas, making
it difficult or impossible for them to
accept protected areas that forced
them to leave their lands and deprived
them of the possibility to harvest appro-
priate renewable natural resources.
However, times are changing and the
concerns and needs of local popula-
tions are beginning to receive the
attention they deserve. Part of these
concerns is the right to sustainably har-
vest fish and wildlife in and around pro-
tected areas.”
In his keynote speech the advisor to
the minister of environment of Estonia,
Hanno Zingel spoke of the importance
of addressing the needs and aspira-
tions of local people in the planning of
protected areas and gave an insight
into the legislation governing hunting
and fishing in protected areas in Esto-
nia, where both activities are allowed in
certain categories of protected areas
and under specific conditions.
Later, the session examined the role
of hunting and fishing in the planning
and management of protected areas,
whether these activities could support
local community-based development
and how management could maintain
the wildlife habitat and hence a valu-
able food source.
Colgar Sikopo from Namibia looked
at whether well-managed hunting and
fishing in some or all of the IUCN cate-
gories of protected areas could be per-
mitted as a basic right for people living
in and around these protected areas.
Scott Dowd then used a Brazilian
example to address whether hunting
and fishing in and around protected
areas helped provide income for local
people and finances for protected area
management. This was followed by an
example from the Philippines, present-
ed by Merlijn Van Weerd and Marites
Gatan-Balbas, on how the benefits per-
ceived by protected area managers
and decision makers match those of
the local communities. Lastly, Dr
Madeleine Nyman of Finland looked at
what, from her experiences, were the
main differences between the positive
and negative biodiversity impacts of
sustainable hunting and fishing in pro-
tected areas as compared with other
recreational activities in these areas.

Wiaan van der Linde, visepre-
sident van die WRSA, het
tydens die noenmaal wat ter
herdenking van WILD & JAG se 20ste
bestaansjaar gehou is, gesê Jan van
der Walt het ’n baie belangrike rol
gespeel in sy eie visie vir die bedryf en
die wyse waarop hulle hul onderne-
ming op Wintershoek bedryf. (Vir meer
oor die herdenkingsfunksie kyk bl 18.)
“Jan publiseer wat hy dink belangrik is
vir die wildbedryf en gee erkenning
aan alle fasette daarvan. Hy het deur
al die uitdagings sterk gestaan en aan-
biedinge van mediahuise van die hand
gewys, net omdat hy sy onafhank-
likheid wou behou.”
Wiaan het verwys na die eerste raad
wat wildboere verteenwoordig het,
waarby Jan ook as bestuurder
betrokke was. Hy het interessante
knelpunte uitgelig wat tydens die raad
se kongres in 1982 op Golden Gate
geopper is, en uitgewys hoe sommige
vandag nog relevant is, onder meer:
• Eienaarskap van wild (Dit is in die
vroeë 1990’s uitgesorteer.)
• Staatsondersteuning van die
wildbedryf (Die laaste twee jaar het
die situasie begin verbeter.)
• Oorregulering
• Eenvormige permitstelsel (Dit is
steeds ʼn probleem.)
• Bewareas
• Rol van die trofeejagter.
• Bemarking van wildsvleis (Die
potensiaal daarvan om groot inkom-
ste te genereer is toe al raakgesien.
Dit bly steeds die grootste potensi-
aal van die bedryf, veral as in ag
geneem word dat daar tans meer
wild [16 miljoen] op privaat plase is
as beeste [14 miljoen]. Wildsvleis
kan die sekuriteit en volhoubaar-
heid van die bedryf verseker.
Twintig persent van alle rooivleis
wat in die wintermaande verbruik
word, is wildsvleis.)
Wiaan is van mening dat jag ’n gro-
ter rol as teling speel om die waarde
van alle spesies te verseker. Sou dit
verander, sal daar ’n afname in getalle
plaasvind. Hy het interessante statis-
tiek genoem oor wildveilings, wat
getoon het hoe die pryse van sekere
spesies gegroei het. Die hoogste prys
wat byvoorbeeld vir ’n witrenoster
tydens die Natal Game Auction op 20
Junie 1994 betaal is, was R88 000;
daarteenoor het ʼn witrenostervers
R600 000 behaal op WRSA se wild-
veiling wat in Mei 2014 op Bela-Bela
aangebied is. Die hoogste wat vir ʼn
njala betaal is tydens die Natal Game
Auction was R2 500, maar in Maart
2014 het ’n njalabul vir R500 000
onder die hamer gekom tydens WRSA
se veiling in Mkuze.
Ten einde die wildbedryf volhoubaar
te maak, moet daar gepoog word om
die buitelandse jagmark te laat groei –
WRSA, die regering, Phasa en die
toerismebedryf moet saam gesels en
beplan. Wat die plaaslike mark betref,
het Wiaan gesê, moet daar saam met
jagtersverenigings beplan word, rea-
listiese pryse moet gevra word, die
beeld van die bedryf moet by die pu-
bliek verbeter en die verkope van
wildsvleis moet aangemoedig word.

van die tydskrif se 20ste bestaansjaar.
