Cover / Voorblad

Gemsbok, a typical open-plains ante-lope, is one of the most difficult species to hunt once it adapts in the bush. The Aimpoint red-dot sights are perfect for these bushveld hunting conditions, not only for Africa’s dangerous game, but for plains game as well. Read more on page 32.

ONKUNDE OOR JAG EN BEWARING

WILD & JAG se standpunt is dat enige onwettige en onetiese vorm van jag ten sterkste verdoem moet word. ’n Algemene beroep om ’n totale verbod op trofeejag te plaas, is egter verregaande en toon weer eens die skreiende onkunde oor

die positiewe rol wat jag in die bewaring van ons wildlewe speel.Kom ons kyk na die feite … Die bewaringsowerhede in Kenia het baie te sê oor

hul beleid as ’n goeie voorbeeld van bewaring in Afrika. Hulle verswyg egter die feit dat, sedert ’n verbod in 1972 op jag geplaas is, Kenia 80% van sy leeus en 70% van sy ander wild, insluitend olifante, verloor het.

In skrille kontras hiermee het ’n opname in 1964 getoon daar is sowat 554 000 stuks wild op privaat wildplase in Suid-Afrika. Dit het dramaties toegeneem tot sowat 25 miljoen diere vandag, wat suiwer aan die benutting deur jag toegeskryf kan word.

In hierdie uitgawe skryf prof Peet van der Merwe van die Noordwes-Universiteit oor die finansiële impak wat ’n verbod op trofeejag in Suid-Afrika sal hê en verwys na die uitwerking op bedrywe oor ’n breë front, waarvan toerisme ’n baie belang-rike aspek is. Die inkomste uit die jagprys en dagfooie van trofeejag alleen het in 2012 byvoorbeeld meer as R1 miljard buitelandse valuta vir die land verdien en ’n groot deel van hierdie inkomste is teruggeploeg in bewaring en werkskepping.

Die huidige situasie verg dat hand in eie boesem gesteek moet word om on-wenslike praktyke uit te roei en dat die boodskap van die positiewe rol van jag op bewaring doeltreffend versprei moet word.

HUNTING AND CONSERVATION IGNORANCE

GAME & HUNT’S position is that any form of illegal or unethical hunting should be strongly condemned. However, a general call for a total ban on trophy hunting is outrageous and once again shows the glaring ignorance of the positive role hunt-ing plays in the conservation of our wildlife.

Let’s look at the facts … The conservation authorities in Kenia have much to say about their policy as a good example of conservation in Africa. They, however, keep quiet about the fact that since a hunting ban was introduced in 1972, Kenia has lost 80% of its lions and 70% of its other wildlife, including elephants.

In sharp contrast to this, a 1964 survey showed there were about 554 000 game animals on private farms in South Africa. Since then it has increased dramatically to some 25 million animals, which can be attributed directly to utilisation through hunting.

In this edition, Prof Peet van der Merwe of the North-West University writes about the financial impact of a trophy hunting ban on South Africa and the effect thereof on various industries, of which tourism is a very important aspect. In 2012, for instance, income generated from only the hunting price and day fees of trophy hunting earned more than R1 billion foreign exchange for the country.

Much of this income was ploughed back into conservation and job creation.The current situation demands that we search our own hearts to eradicate any

undesirable practices and to effectively propagate the positive effect of hunting on conservation.
