AbstractThe lease hunting system in Texas is described and discussed. Results of a hunter survey are reported and the value of ingress rights for white-tailed deer hunting in Texas is estimated. Results suggest that these rights are highly valuable and that services and facilities provided generally do not enhance the value of the hunting experience as much as access to additional game species on adequately large parcels of land.

Full textAbstract:
Hunting tourism is a special (selective) form of tourism and an integral part of hunting, and it is implemented with efforts to preserve and regenerate its main motive and resource (hunting grounds and game populations), at least to the extent defined as simple reproduction. It brings a significant share of revenue to the hunting sector, which is mainly focused on the improvement of habitat conditions, as well as the production, breeding and protection of game and a to a smaller extent on the construction and maintenance of facilities for the accommodation and board of tourist hunters. Hunting is an important recreational, sporting and touristic activity characterized by the potential presence of various safety risks, which can cause injury and even accidental death of participants in the hunt and their hunting dogs, but also of other persons, and cause damage to property in the hunting grounds and beyond. Data suggest that almost every year in Serbia one death is caused by hunting firearms during hunting.

The subject of this study is the impact of hunting tourism on the development of hunting associations in the territory of the City of Leskovac in Serbia. Non-experimental model of scientific research, survey, was applied in the paper, while the obtained results were processed by statistical data processing. Data are presented in tables and graphs. The total number of completed questionnaires by service users was 475. The largest percentage of hunters on hunting grounds were foreign tourists compared to domestic tourists, which accounted for 84.50% of the total number of hunting tourists in 2017, 87.1% in 2018 .year and 89 8% in 2019. The income generated from the stay of hunters' tourists was used by hunting associations for the purchase of certain game species and the modernization of hunting and technical facilities. The amount of revenue generated increased by 2.3% each year in 2018 and by 22.6% in 2019. Investments in 2017-2019 were up 20.1% in 2018 to 38.8% in 2019, while funds earmarked for wildlife procurement were significantly higher by 3.8% in 2018, and 50% in 2019. It can be concluded that hunting and hunting tourism must be focused on habitat conservation, environmental protection, and wildlife protection and a very important segment of the economic development of hunting associations and the entire territory in which hunting associations operate.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractCoronal mass ejections (CMEs) are explosive events that occur basically daily on the Sun. It is thought that these events play a crucial role in the angular momentum and mass loss of late-type stars, and also shape the environment in which planets form and live. Stellar CMEs can be detected in optical spectra in the Balmer lines, especially in Hα, as blue-shifted extra emission/absorption. To increase the detection probability one can monitor young open clusters, in which the stars are due to their youth still rapid rotators, and thus magnetically active and likely to exhibit a large number of CMEs. Using ESO facilities and the Nordic Optical Telescope we have obtained time series of multi-object spectroscopic observations of late-type stars in six open clusters with ages ranging from 15 Myrs to 300 Myrs. Additionally, we have studied archival data of numerous active stars. These observations will allow us to obtain information on the occurrence rate of CMEs in late-type stars with different ages and spectral types. Here we report on the preliminary outcome of our studies.

Recently, the government of Tanzania has legalized the sale of game meat under special rules namely the Wildlife Conservation (Game Meat Selling) Regulations of 2020 as an effort to curb illegal hunting. The regulations mention tourist hunting as one of the sources of commercial game meat. Other sources include resident hunting; wildlife farms/ranches/zoos; and culling, cropping, and control of problem animals. In this paper we examine the performance of tourist hunting, legal game meat in the country, and its regulatory framework from the perspectives of key stakeholders, including both public and private or non-state stakeholders. We use a variant of Likert’s methods of summated ratings and the cumulative ordinal regression model to analyse and compare the opinions of stakeholders. We found that there are still challenges, especially related to sources of wild animals. Operators of game meat facilities find it difficult to source game meat from tourist hunting companies and the latter are not willing to offer the meat to licensed operators of game meat shops. Our results support the hypothesis that authorization of the game meat trade can serve as one of the boldest conservation tools to mitigate illegal poaching if well-planned and regulated. The results of the cumulative ordinal regression model predict an improvement of 42% in the performance of regulatory framework per unit improvement in the procedures for application and registration of game meat selling facilities (p = 0.010). The paper recommends leveraging stakeholders' active engagement and strengthening cooperation between game meat value chain actors and law-enforcement authorities. An innovative participatory model for enforcing game meat sanitary and safety regulations is also recommended to avoid potential health risks to consumers. It underscores the importance of institutional capacity building, awareness creation, and adequate funding in the fight against illegal hunting and game meat trade. In order for the country to be able to achieve sustainable game meat trade in the country, the challenge of limited wild animal sources has to be addressed, possibly by supporting the establishment of privately owned wild animal farms, ranches, and zoos, this also has its own challenges that need to be addressed too.

Recreational facilities and seasonal residences create unusual wastewater treatment problems. In the barrier islands of South Carolina the problem is further complicated by very restrictive water quality discharge regulations. On Fripp Island an activated sludge system has been employed to produce an effluent suitable for land disposal on the golf course. Use of the water in this way is economically attractive and minimizes the costs associated with golf course maintenance. The process can be modified to provide substantial nitrogen for the golf course turf requirements. On Hunting Island a total oxidation system which operates poorly is being replaced with a combined trickling filter and aeration system which should allow maximum flexibility in dealing with highly variable effluent loadings. The effluents from this system will be discharged through a constructive wetland avoiding any surface water discharge. The combination of these facilities results in a highly environmentally satisfactory discharge program. Sludge from the biological treatment operations on both Fripp Island and Hunting Island can be combined to produce sod for use on the golf course. Composting offers an alternative method of sludge disposal which is also environmentally satisfactory.

The prospects for game fauna, edible or non-edible, for game culture or just for bringing their populations under control, are only likely and different from species to species. The purpose of this paper is to follow the evolution of the populations of game fauna in the Seaca No. 4 Hunting Fund (Olt County) in the period 2011–2021, in order to deepen and improve the existing game management. The surface of the game reserve is 8,661 ha and overlaps with 3 protected areas. During the research period, 9 representative species of hunting interest were identified, important from an ecological, economic and aesthetic point of view: 7 mammal species (belonging to 3 orders, 5 families) and 2 bird species (Phasianidae). Of the species of game interest studied, only the European fallow deer (an artificially introduced species), roe deer and red fox showed an increase in the number of animals, their hunting quotas and, therefore, their harvests during the research period. We mention the reduction in the wild boar herds, in spite of the special care taken by the administrator to supplement their food requirements, and the appearance and multiplication of jackals in the area, the multiplication of red foxes and the reduction in the European hare and gray partridge numbers. Comparing the actual and optimum populations in 2021, it can be observed that the actual population of roe deer, red deer and pheasant is close to the optimum population level. Thus, during the research period, the herds of hunting fauna were relatively high and balanced, in accordance with the diversity of the habitats and the large number of facilities for hunting. The need is felt to protect the habitats and further develop the territory where game is taken care of and harvested in the context where the habitats are subject to alarming changes, which affect both the trophic capacity and the shelter needed by the game. The hunters from the studied hunting fund must maintain a sincere and constructive dialogue with the other actors in the field, in order to be able to take, jointly, the most appropriate measures for the conservation of wild fauna, without harming protected areas, agricultural production, forestry, etc.

AbstractLaw enforcement in protected areas is critical for ensuring long-term conservation and achieving conservation objectives. In 2004, patrol-based monitoring of law enforcement was implemented in protected areas in Ghana. Here, we evaluate long-term trends and changes in patrol staff performance, and illegal activities, in the Kogyae Strict Nature Reserve. The assessment was based on ranger patrol-based monitoring data collected during January 2006–August 2017. Along the patrol routes, patrol officers recorded all encounters with illegal activities associated with hunting and capturing or harming of animals. Across all years, staff performance was lowest in 2006 as staff learned the system but increased in 2007 and peaked in 2010, the latter as a result of motivation of the patrol staff. After 2011, staff performance decreased, mainly because of the retirement of some patrol staff and insufficient logistical support for successful patrolling. Snares were the most commonly recorded indicators of illegal activity. Because their use is silent, poachers using snares are less likely to be detected than poachers using other forms of hunting. Long-term assessment of patrol-based monitoring data provides reliable information on illegal activities related to wildlife, to enable stakeholders to design effective measures for biodiversity conservation. Our assessment indicates that patrol staff performance in Kogyae is, at least partly, dependent on governmental or external support and incentives, in particular the provision of equipment and transport facilities.

Abstract An issue of the possible involvement of wind turbines in the power and heat supply of remote dispersed consumers in the Arctic (meteorological stations, lighthouses, border outposts, army and navy facilities, hunting seats, fishermen and geophysical explorers’ bases, etc.) is considered. The need for the functioning of the consumers remains in the long term. The study of the wind energy potential in the western sector of the Russian Arctic showed emerging prerequisites to be favourable for the efficient use of this renewable energy source in the coastal areas of the Barents and White Seas. Average annual wind speed at a height of 10 m in the areas mentioned are 6-8 m/s. There is a pronounced seasonal wind intensity maximum, which coincides with the seasonal maximum of the consumer’s demand for power and heat. Exemplified by facilities located in the coastal Kola Peninsula, it is shown that it is possible to save a significant amount of expensive imported fuel combusted at diesel power plants and boiler rooms, and thereby to reduce the generated electricity and heat costs by 25-40%, when implementing wind turbines.

Visiting public catering facilities acts as a social phenomenon, which is primarily due to cultural relationships. This turns ordinary food consumption into a process that brings taste, aesthetics and visual pleasure.
The article notes that when developing the main idea, it is necessary to determine the audience that will be targeted by the public catering facilities. It is important to understand the characteristics of customers, such as solvency, taste preferences, average age, preferences.
It is noted that the number of visits to the public catering facilities and a successful marketing strategy is influenced by customer focus; compliance with the requirements for comfort and hygiene; level of service and its constant maintenance.
Modern tendencies in development of interiors public catering facilities are analyzed in the article. It is noted that the socio-economic transformations in society directly affect typology of the public catering facilities, influence their specificity and organization of interiors. The conception key role is ascertained, the basic thematic directions such as: geographical directions, aqueous motives, sport subjects, hunting themes, historical facts or personalities, cinematographic themes or heroes, ethnographic direction etc. are noted. When creating a general conceptual idea, the set-out of essential accents is substantial that can improve attendance. Emphasis can be placed on: a friendly atmosphere that promotes communication, gaining new experiences, an atmosphere of energy and inspiration, food choices, comfort, the opportunity to relax, entertainment while visiting, prestige, status.
The development of the restaurant business requires a differentiated approach to the formation of the interiors of restaurants; based on modern requirements and trends. These requirements are designed to meet the social, aesthetic, physiological and spiritual needs of visitors. In general, it allows you to develop an original, expressive interior, the figurative solution of which is memorable.
Method of evidential analysis and the empiric method are involved in the article. The presented recommendations can be used for creation of the interior design-conception of the public catering facilities.

Objective. Studies demonstrate that people’s food and physical activity (PA) environments influence behavior, yet research examining this in rural communities is limited.Methods. Focus groups of 8–15 women were conducted in rural communities in seven US states. Questions were designed to identify factors within residents’ food and PA environments they felt helped or hindered them from eating healthfully and being physically active.Results. Participants were aged 30–84 years; mean (SD) = 61 (14) (N=95). On average, communities had fewer than 5,000 residents. Limited time, social norms, and distances from or lack of exercise facilities were common PA barriers. Facilitators for PA included social support, dog walking, and availability of affordable facilities. Healthy eating barriers included the perception that healthy foods were too expensive; calorically dense large portion sizes served at family meals; and frequency of eating foods away from home, which were perceived as generally unhealthy. Healthy eating supports included culture/value around local food gathering (e.g., hunting and gardening) and preservation (e.g., canning and smoking). Friends and family were frequently identified as key influencers of eating and PA behavior.Conclusions. Targeting both social and built environment factors, particularly those unique to rural locales, may enhance support for healthy eating and PA behavior change interventions.

A multistage sampling was adopted in which purposive sampling was used to identify communities where government and non-governmental organization have their presence and the benefits they attract to these communities. Further, a stratified random sampling was used to administer 25 questionnaires in chosen four communities in each of the two axes of the forest reserve making a total of 8 communities and a grand total of 200 questionnaires. The benefits derived from the forest reserve are many, which include land for farming within the open spaces of the forest, logging, fuel wood extraction, medicinal herbs and shrub extractions, hunting and bush meat sales. It was recommended that young people should take advantage of the enormous opportunities around this forest reserve to get for themselves gainful business and employment opportunities. Government should also provide infrastructural facilities and amenities to the rural communities to make living there convenience for the people.

Abstract Culinary facilities are now experiencing rapid development and are increasingly popular among the public, especially teenagers in Jakarta or tourists who deliberately want to taste Indonesian culinary. This can occur due to changes in the lifestyle of the people of Jakarta in fulfilling food consumption. The people of Jakarta consume food not only to meet their basic needs, but also to find satisfaction with taste, service, atmosphere and scenery and it can be made as a hangout place with friends, colleagues, etc. With the changing patterns or trends of this society, it has prompted many entrepreneurs to build many culinary buildings in new locations. Going down the street in Jakarta to find a culinary place, is definitely very fun. Once fanatical food hunters, they are willing to take the time to hunt for their favorite dishes. Amazingly, this hunting continues to grow so that it often creates new communities. The fact that culinary activities will never die has even become a new hobby and new lifestyle for the people of Jakarta. As with the complexity of the city of Jakarta, the culinary in Jakarta is very varied. Almost all food both from within and outside the country can be found in Jakarta, one of which is in the area of Jalan Sabang which is already famous for its culinary hawker centers that can be enjoyed by any group of people, both upper, middle and lower class. It could be said, Jalan Sabang is a culinary facility for public spaces, especially for the Central Jakarta area

The aims of this study are: 1) To find out the early history of the emergence of Blidit hot springs. 2) To find out the condition of tourist facilities in the Blidit hot spring tourist attraction. 3) To find out the public's view on the potential utilization of the Blidit hot spring tourist attraction. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. The results showed that: the early history of the emergence of Blidit hot springs was first found by the Blidit people who wanted to go hunting in the forest and one of them stepped on the water and felt the water was hot but they thought the water came from Mount Egon because Mount Egon is a mountain fiery. The water emerged from the ground through cracked soil and it is said that at that time there was a person named gahu which means heat was cut and his body was stored in the water and at that time also in the bathing place there was a guard and when he wanted to visit that place he had to many people and keep things in that place such as roko, money and betel nut when in that place, visitors should not utter harsh words. The condition of tourist facilities for tourist attractions, Blidit hot spring baths, is classified as not good. Judging from the condition or state of the hot springs, there are still very few facilities and are not cared for and kept clean where visitors still use private vehicles and access roads that still use paths that are still in the form of soil and rocks.

In the present work, an 18 month survey, involving face to face interviews with the local people and deployment camera-traps, was carried out on about 600 km2 areas in Turkey. Field surveys and camera-trapping resulted in strong evidences that striped hyenas travel and live around Hatay (Syria border) and Şanlıurfa Provinces in Turkey. However, a comprehensive study was not carried out about the status of striped hyenas in this region. Our results showed that striped hyenas were frequently observed around the wasteland and the chicken farm in Hatay Province. Alternatively, they live in small groups in Şanlıurfa Province. Several caves suitable for striped hyenas were identified by footprints, feces and other animal remnants observed in and before those caves. We performed molecular characterization of striped hyenas in Turkey for the first time using Cytb mitochondrial DNA isolated from hair, ear and carcass tissues. Sequences of Cytb DNA sequences from10 different striped hyena samples from Turkey were found to be identical to each other. Comparison of the sequences with the previously reported Cytb sequences, including prehistoric ones, showed that Ctyb gene was highly conserved among the Hyaena hyaena species. During the field surveys we also observed that habitat destruction and fragmentation are detected on high level in the studied regions due to the intensive agricultural areas, settlements and quarries. Illegal hunting, frequent cave usage by shepherds, extensive porcupines hunting, water pollution from olive oil production facilities and highway crashes have been negatively affecting striped hyena population in Hatay and Şanlıurfa regions. It appears that a comprehensive study and protection plan should be exerted to preserve the habitat of striped hyenas.

The red wolf (Canis rufus) inhabited the Southeastern United States until the early 1900's when aggressive hunting and a shrinking primitive habitat virtually eradicated the species. C. rufus was certified as an endangered species in 1967 and was essentially extinct in the wild by 1980. About 200 animals are preserved in zoos and captive breeding facilities where efforts are underway to increase the stock. Since a shrinking gene pool and captive stress may reduce reproductive vigor, we undertook an electron microscopic examination of red wolf semen used for artificial insemination at the Graham, WA breeding facility of the Point Defiance Zoo.Animals were anesthetized with 175 mg. Telazol, IM before electroejaculation using a rectal probe Semen was washed in PBS prior to fixation in 1.25% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M cacodylate, post fixed in OsO4, dehydrated in alcohol and propylene oxide and embedded in Epon 812.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the records of forest fire outbreaks and characteristics over the 518 years of the Joseon Dynasty period (1392–1910) through the analysis of major historical records of Korea. The historical books used in this study were 14 major national historical books, and include the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty (朝鮮王朝實錄), the Diaries of the Royal Secretariat (承政院日記), and the literature was examined, centering on official records of the royal palace in the Joseon Dynasty period. The contents of forest fires recorded in the historical record literature include the overviews of outbreak, forest fire types, and forest fire damage. According to the results of analysis of historical records, the largest forest fire damage was in the forest fire that occurred on the east coast in 1672, in which 65 persons died and in the forest fire that occurred in the same area in 1804, in which 61 persons died and 2600 private houses were destroyed by fire. The causes of fire outbreak were shown to be unknown causes in 42 cases, accidental fires in 10 cases, arson in 3 cases, thunder strike in 3 cases, hunting activities in 2 cases, child playing with fire in 1 case, cultivating activities in 1 case, and house fire in 1 case. Forest fire outbreaks were analyzed by region and by season and according to the results, 56% (39 cases) of the forest fires broke out on the east coast and 73% (46 cases) broke out in the spring. Forest fire policies include those for general forests, those for reserved forests, those for prohibited forests, those for capital city forests, those for royal family’s graves, royal ancestral shrine, and placenta chamber, those for hunting grounds such as martial art teaching fields, and relief policies for people in areas damaged by forest fires, forest fire policies for national defense facilities such as beacon fire stations, and burning and burning control policies for pest control. In conclusion, due to the seriousness of forest fires in the Joseon Dynasty period, the royal authority and local administrative agencies made various forest fire prevention policies, policies for stabilization of the people’s livelihood damaged due to forest fires, and methods to manage major facilities in forests.

Full textAbstract:
Although Tanzania is operating a decentralized health system, most of the health workers’ retention strategies are designed at the central level and implemented at the local level. This study sought to explore the bottom-up health workers’ retention strategies by analyzing experiences from two rural districts, Rombo and Kilwa in Tanzania by conducting a cross-sectional exploratory qualitative study in the said districts. Nineteen key informants were purposefully selected based on their involvement in the health workers’ retention scheme at the district and then interviewed. These key informants included district health managers, local government leaders, and in-charges of health facilities. Also, three focused group discussions were conducted with 19 members from three Health Facility Governing Committees (HFGCs). Qualitative content analysis was deployed to analyze the data. We uncovered health-facility and district level retention strategies which included, the promotion of good community reception, promotion of good working relationships with local government leaders, limiting migration within district facilities and to districts within the region, and active head-hunting at training institutions. Retention of health workers at the primary health care level is beyond remuneration. Although some of these strategies have financial implications, most of them are less costly compared to the top-bottom strategies. While large scale studies are needed to test the generalizability of the strategies unveiled in our study, more studies are required to uncover additional bottom-up retention strategies.

Full textAbstract:
African lion (Panthera leo) cubs are extensively used in South Africa in wildlife-interaction tourist activities. Facilities provide close interaction opportunities, but the welfare impacts on the cubs are unclear. A workshop was held with 15 lion-experienced stakeholders, including government officials, nature conservationists, animal welfare organisations, lion breeders, lion handlers, an animal ethologist, wildlife veterinarian, wildlife rehabilitation specialist and an animal rights advocacy group representative. Individual representatives nominated a range of welfare concerns, and 15 were identified for discussion and prioritisation. The leading welfare concern was a lack of governance and regulation within the industry. Participants agreed on nine non-negotiable practices affecting welfare concerns, which included ethical concerns, such as cubs exiting into the ranching industry (farming of lions for hunting) and the bone trade (lions being slaughtered for their bones, which are exported for lion bone wine) once petting age has passed. Welfare concerns representative of current management practices within the lion cub interaction industry were compared for importance using an online adaptive conjoint analysis survey of 60 stakeholders in the industry. The survey identified the most important welfare concerns to be poor social grouping of cubs, an inability for cubs to choose their own environment and retreat from a forced interaction, a lack of trained and dedicated caretakers, and poor breeding practices. The conjoint analysis survey results produced a value model, which can be used as a tool to score cubs’ welfare in interaction facilities, and it identified unacceptable practices lacking welfare consideration.

Full textAbstract:
Traditional, forest resource-dependent livelihoods face multiple challenges. In Gabon, bushmeat provides food and income for rural communities. This study investigates how villagers believe livelihood practices and dependence on bushmeat changed over the last decade and if alternative income and food generating strategies can be sustainable. Our results show that remote villages near Moukalaba Doudou National Park hardly changed practices. Less remote villages near Tchibanga experienced declining hunting revenues and are switching to alternatives. Villages near Libreville almost completely changed strategies, and are no longer dependent on forest resources. Changes in livelihood practices were driven either by resource depletion or urbanization. The ability to change depended on proximity to facilities and infrastructure. Although most respondents were able to change, not all alternative strategies are sustainable. The results highlight the need to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of alternative poverty reduction and nature conservation strategies in a context of urbanization and food security. There is a need to reduce bushmeat demand, making supply more sustainable through effective resource governance and creating a conducive institutional and policy environment.

Full textAbstract:
Falconry has been practiced for thousands of years and is nowadays frequently employed in activities such as pest control, hunting, falcon racing, and environmental education. Antimicrobial resistance levels have risen in the past years, constituting an emerging global problem with a direct impact on public health. Besides both topics being studied on their own, information on the role of captive birds of prey in the potential dissemination of virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance determinants of bacterial origin is scarce. Multidrug-resistant bacteria, including some extended-spectrum β-lactamase producers, have already been found in several captive birds of prey. Most of the virulence factors found in captive raptors’ bacteria were related to adherence and invasion abilities, toxin production, and flagella. These birds may acquire these bacteria through contaminated raw food and the exchange of animals between keepers and zoological facilities. More studies are required to confirm the role of captive birds of prey in disseminating resistant bacteria and on the routes of interaction between synanthropic species and humans.

Under the "Authorisations of the Minister of National Defence" (latest - No. 57/MON dated 22 December 2014), a Permanent Expert Team operates at the Institute of Armament Technology of the Faculty of Mechatronics and Aerospace of the Military University of Technology (Warsaw, Poland), performing test shootings for the purpose of verifying the fulfilment of technical requirements to be met by garrison shooting ranges and their locations. During almost 20 years of its activity, the Team has conducted research studies under more than 325 civil law contracts concluded with operators of shooting ranges, numerous expert analyses and prepared specialist opinions for courts and prosecutor's offices, and participated in the creation of normative acts and documents, concerning - among others - provision of safety of the operated field training facilities, mainly garrison and training ground shooting ranges. The results of the Team's work have been used, among others, by the Ministry of National Defence (with the active participation of the Team) to prepare regulations of the Minister of National Defence concerning the technical conditions to be met by garrison shooting ranges and their locations. The first of these regulations was issued on 4 October 2001 (Polish Journal of Laws of 2001, no. 132, item 1479), and its latest revision on 15 December 2017 (Polish Journal of Laws of 2018, item 113). The paper presents selected results of studies of the Permanent Expert Team related to, among others, ensuring the safety of users of garrison and training ground shooting ranges, which form a part of the field training facilities of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland, the Police, the Border Guard, the Customs Service, security companies, hunting and sports organisations. Of particular value are the conclusions and propositions of the Expert Team related to, for example: improvement of quality of the law created in Poland, concerning in particular training facilities; ensuring safety at shooting ranges during training with firearms of various types and calibres, utilising various types of ammunition; expert supervision over construction, acceptance and operation of shooting ranges; principles of safe operation of shooting ranges, ensuring longevity of the facilities, etc.

Full textAbstract:
There is growing concern about captive lion hunting and breeding operations in South Africa, including cub-petting tourism. For the first time, we assess the quality of cub-petting facilities and code the stress behaviors of lion cubs when handled by tourists by analyzing four stress-related behaviors and six indicators of poor husbandry in 49 YouTube videos of tourist–lion cub interactions (from at least 11 South African safari parks, 2008-2019). We also categorized videos as regular tourism vs. voluntourism (tourism under the guise of helping those in need). We found a median of four poor husbandry practices per video, with all but two videos involving very young cubs (under 7 months) and the majority (61%) involving cubs estimated under 3 months old. Two videos claimed to show cubs as young as 9 days old and 1 day old, with their eyes still closed. The lion mother was apparent in only 1 of 49 videos. All but one of the interactions took place during the day, although young cubs are primarily active at night. The majority of videos (77%) showed cubs engaging in at least one stress behavior, and the most common stress behaviors were avoidance and aggression. Comparing voluntourism to regular tourism, we found no difference in instances of poor husbandry or observable stress behaviors (p’s > 0.6). These results show that cub-petting operations are characterized by poor cub welfare, including features that are inherently harmful to cub development (e.g., separation from the mother at an early age and forced activity outside normal waking hours). Existing research suggests that many tourists are likely unaware of these negative impacts and may even believe that they are helping the cubs. This analysis provides evidence to the contrary.

Abstract Background Human and filovirus host interactions remain poorly understood in areas where Ebola hemorrhagic fever outbreaks are likely to occur. In the Bwindi region of Uganda, a hot spot of mammalian biodiversity in Africa, human livelihoods are intimately connected with wildlife, creating potential for exposure to filoviruses. Methods We tested samples from 331 febrile patients presenting to healthcare facilities near Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis and Western blot, using recombinant glycoprotein antigens for Ebola virus (EBOV), Sudan virus (SUDV), Bundibugyo virus (BDBV), and Marburg virus. Behavioral data on contact with wildlife were collected to examine risk factors for filovirus seropositivity. Results All patients were negative for active filovirus infection, by PCR analysis. However, patients were seroreactive to SUDV (4.7%), EBOV (5.3%), and BDBV (8.9%), indicating previous exposure. Touching duikers was the most significant risk factor associated with EBOV seropositivity, while hunting primates and touching and/or eating cane rats were significant risk factors for SUDV seropositivity. Conclusions People in southwestern Uganda have suspected previous exposure to filoviruses, particularly those with a history of wildlife contact. Circulation of filoviruses in wild animals and subsequent spillover into humans could be more common than previously reported.

Full textAbstract:
Interactions between humans and mammals are a defining experience of human life. Humans have utilized mammals and their products for thousands of years. The spread of new inhabited places, accompanying facilities, and residential areas, which vary greatly depending on the species' original habitat, has destroyed large ecosystems. Mammals are used for various reasons including food, and medicine. Urbanization, industrialization, and hunting have damaged the mammalian landscape. These activities are the primary causes of mammal’s extinction. Mammals have adapted to new habitats and diets, but some species have failed to adopt, and they are rapidly declining. However, in an increasingly urbanized and resource-constrained world, we need to learn how to manage the risks from wildlife in new ways, and to understand how to maximize the diverse benefits that living with wildlife can bring. Ethnomammalogy is the study of human knowledge of mammals and this field of research helps with mammalian conservation efforts. Habitat loss is a global issue that has got a lot of attention in the last two decades. Human actions have had a significant impact on the chemical, biological and physical structure of the Earth's land and water.

Full textAbstract:
In cities and densely populated areas, several corvid species are considered nuisance animals. In Austria, particularly carrion (Corvus corone) and hooded crows (C. cornix) are regarded as pests by the general public that frequently cause damage to crops, feed on human waste, and thus spread trash. We conducted a detailed one-year field survey to estimate the abundance of carrion crows in relation to potential anthropogenic food sources and reference sites in the Austrian Rhine valley. Our results demonstrated that the number and proximity of waste management facilities, animal feeding areas, and agricultural areas, and the productive capacity of agricultural areas, predominantly influenced habitat choice and abundance of carrion crows. In the current study, the probability of observing more than two carrion crows at a survey site decreased with increasing human population density. Moreover, the abundance of crows increased despite a continuous increase in crow hunting kills registered during the past 25 years. Our study suggests a regionally comprehensive waste management plan could serve as a promising strategy to manage nuisance birds. A reduction in anthropogenic food supply through improved waste management practices is required for long-term, sustainable management to limit the abundance of crow populations in and close to urban environments.

Full textAbstract:
Long-term social memory is important, because it is an ecologically relevant test of cognitive capacity, it helps us understand which social relationships are remembered and it relates two seemingly disparate disciplines: cognition and sociality. For dolphins, long-term memory for conspecifics could help assess social threats as well as potential social or hunting alliances in a very fluid and complex fission–fusion social system, yet we have no idea how long dolphins can remember each other. Through a playback study conducted within a multi-institution dolphin breeding consortium (where animals are moved between different facilities), recognition of unfamiliar versus familiar signature whistles of former tank mates was assessed. This research shows that dolphins have the potential for lifelong memory for each other regardless of relatedness, sex or duration of association. This is, to my knowledge, the first study to show that social recognition can last for at least 20 years in a non-human species and the first large-scale study to address long-term memory in a cetacean. These results, paired with evidence from elephants and humans, provide suggestive evidence that sociality and cognition could be related, as a good memory is necessary in a fluid social system.

Full textAbstract:
When they introduced cattle into Guatemala in the 16th century, Europeans also brought a whole new industry involving ranches, slaughterhouses, and new forms of labor. On the one hand, cattle producers had to treat the animals as intact living organisms requiring care and nurture to maintain and increase the herds. Those animals were grown by the ranchers for specific purposes. In the first place, colonial Mesoamerican cattle were raised to produce hides and leather for intercontinental trade with Spain. The regularized disassembling of the bovine bodies created these new products, but it also had some unintended consequences, namely the generation of new subject positions among the indigenous workers of these facilities. New forms of butchering techniques aimed at extracting animal parts were unlike the indigenous practices of animal hunting and exploitation, which aimed at preserving the physical integrity of the animals’ bodies. The newly introduced techniques that involved the compartmentalization of animal bodies also involved an increased compartmentalization of labor, accompanied by new body techniques and gestures. As the butchers and the tanners became enskilled, their bodies changed and so did their hexis. To operationalize these ideas, technological approaches combined with zooarchaeological (butchery marks), ethnographic, and historical evidence are used to investigate how humans and cattle mutually grew each other’s matter and subjectivities.

Full textAbstract:
Humankind has always known about the usefulness in integration of animals for the achievement of such routine goals as hunting, household and territory protection, transportation, scouting foreign territories and materials, and overcoming physical limitations. Animals are also highly valued as agents of socialisation resulting in the integration of various species in the work of various professions. Social work also increasingly makes use of professional activities involving animals while working with clients. Terms such as therapy animals, animal-assisted therapy, animal-assisted activities, and animal-assisted education are becoming more relevant in the daily work of social workers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychotherapists and other professionals. Animals are more and more often found in hospitals, schools, care facilities, prisons and other settings. Animal-assisted therapy is a general term including various activities, causing difficulty to understand and differentiate between the types of therapy performed with various animal species, which creates the need to study the experience in ensuring work with therapy animals in various settings. The results obtained in this study reflect the experiences working with therapy animals of various professionals including the goal of integrating therapy animals in professional activity, the goal of the activity and the steps thereof, target groups and the expected results.

The Murmansk region is characterised by endless wilderness areas, taiga, forests, countless rivers and lakes, and is also interesting for various types of tourism. More than 40 countries have stayed in the region's hotels in 2018, with most foreign visitors coming from Europe. Three districts of Karelia – Belomorsky, Kemsky and Louhsky – were successfully included in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation in 2017. The Belomorsky District has an exceptionally high tourism potential, which is currently under-demanded due to the lack of an underdeveloped tourism infrastructure and tourism personnel. The Kemsky district is famous for the objects of historical and cultural heritage. In the Kemi district there are few recreation facilities and hotels, which is explained by the fact that major tourist flows of guests pass through the city of Kemi. The Assumption Cathedral in Kemi, Kuzovetsky archipelago are in great demand. The area is famous for fishing, hunting and event elements. The Louhsky region is famous for wild recreation away from the hustle and bustle. In the region there are all conditions for the development of various kinds of ecological, natural, sports and adventure tourism. All regions have a sufficient number of attractions to attract tourists, unique natural phenomena and the potential for numerous types of tourism.

Technological entrepreneurship is an underlying and fundamental approach that enables the transformation of a creative idea into an entrepreneurial opportunity. The entrepreneur needs tools to be able to transform his ideas into operational innovation for hunting environmental opportunities. The growth of information and communication technology, as well as the wideness and ubiquity of the Internet, have provided these people with the right opportunity and tools. Entrepreneurial dreams can be turned into reality by using information technology facilities. According to the development of knowledge-based economies and the importance of using new technologies in economic growth, the field of technological entrepreneurship is expanding every day and includes wider dimensions. Technological entrepreneurship plays an important role in the process of creating a regional economy and sustainable development in the country. The need for technological entrepreneurship is because technology-based industries are rapidly expanding and replacing traditional industries. In this regard, the present research aims to identify the factors affecting the development of technological entrepreneurship capabilities in FMCG companies in order to develop and grow the culture of technological entrepreneurship. In this research, a conceptual framework is presented for the development of technological entrepreneurship, which can be a valuable guide for improving processes in knowledge-based organizations.

There are a large number of unexplored structures in Karelia related to peasant economic activities. These are mills, storage facilities, barns, hunting traps, paddocks, and roads located outside the boundaries of historical villages. In the paper, we will consider the objects of the Karelian rural water transport infrastructure group – channels. In the absence of good roads in the White Sea Karelia, waterways were the only convenient way to travel between villages throughout the year.The first field study of the channels was carried out by an archaeological expedition of the National Museum of the Republic of Karelia in 2015 on Lake Kamennoe (Kiitehenjarvi) in the Kostomuksha Nature Reserve. Two channels were examined near the village of Shappovaara on the western shore of the lake and the village of Luzhmaguba near the beginning of the Kamennaya River. The first channel (90 m long) was photographed by Finnish photographer K.I. Inha in 1894. There were two wooden crosses and two karsikkos near it and boats passed through it, the second channel (306 m) was probably used for transporting logs during the rafting period. The estimated dating of both structures is the second half of the XIX century. The closest analogies are located on the territory of Finland.

It was determined that the proposed methodology for assessing the pathological impact of diseases and forest pests on the sanitary condition provides a practical opportunity to carry out preventive measures in advance in the forests of the branches of the Central Interregional Directorate of Forestry and Hunting, which prevent the spread of pathogens and the spread of pests to the adjacent territories of forest uses in the conditions of forestry enterprises the entire zone of the Central Polissya of Ukraine.The field of application of the research results is forestry branches of the Central Interregional Forestry and Hunting Management, nature protection research departments of the Polissky Nature Reserve and objects of the Nature Reserve Fund of Ukraine, research institutions and organizations, production forest protection enterprises, forestry enterprises of the Central Polissya zone of Ukraine.The conclusions of the research are that today due to weather and climate changes both in the natural forest ecosystems of the branches of the Central Interregional Administration of Forestry and Hunting, and in the nature protection research departments of the Polissky Nature Reserve, such pathogens as root fungus, pine fungus , diseases of tree trunks and crowns, root and heart rots of wood became widespread in the form of epiphytotia. Such forest pests as: odd silkworm, spruce sawfly, horntail, apex and six-toothed bark beetles, small and large barbels, passing moth, long-nosed beetles, typographer bark beetle, oak leafroller (leaf beetle), head nematodes, shoot borers, pine bug, - massively damage growing and mature forest stands. The proposed methodology for assessing the pathological impact of diseases and forest pests on the sanitary state of forests is based on the application of silvicultural, phytopathological, entomological, and taxing methods for monitoring forest damage both in the conditions of forestry branches of the Central Interregional Directorate of Forestry and Hunting, and nature protection research departments of the Polissky Nature Reserve in forest vegetation conditions A1-2, B1-2 will in the future provide a practical opportunity to conduct timely monitoring of the state of forests, to design and implement measures in advance to prevent the occurrence of epiphytophytes of pathogens, the spread of dangerous forest pests, to reduce the risks of damage and destruction of forest plants as much as possible forest stands both in the conditions of forestry enterprises and in the conditions of the nature reserve fund of the Central Polissya zone of Ukraine. The methodology for assessing the pathological impact of diseases and forest pests on the sanitary condition will in the future provide a practical opportunity to make a timely and effective forecast of possible foci of disease, reproduction of pests, dynamics and directions of their spread, assessment of the destruction and damage of forest stands, determination of probable economic losses from the pathogenesis of diseases entomological activity of pests. The practical use of the proposed methodology for assessing the pathological impact of diseases and forest pests on the sanitary condition will make it possible to predict and determine epiphytophytic centers of causative agents of root and pine fungus, a complex of diseases of tree trunks and crowns, the occurrence and large-scale spread of such rather dangerous forest pests as: odd silkworm, spruce sawfly , horntail, apex and six-toothed bark beetles, small and large barbel, passing moth, long-nosed beetles, typographer's bark beetle, oak leafroller (leaf beetle), head nematode, shoot weevil, pine bug, as well as early planning and implementation of measures to prevent the spread pathogens and dangerous forest pests to other areas of forest use. The use of wood-ring chronologies in the context of the proposed methodology will make it possible to assess the physiological and immunological state of the examined trees based on the state of early and late wood growth and to predict further actions to limit the spread of disease pathogens or pest damage. The proposed methodology for carrying out forest pathological monitoring surveys using the dendrochronological method makes it possible to carry out practical preventive measures to limit the spread of extremely dangerous pathogens and forest pests both in the conditions of the forestry branches of the Central Interregional Forestry and Hunting Management, as well as the nature protection and research departments of the Polissky Nature Reserve and the Central Polissya zone as a whole.Keywords: forest, diseases, pests, method, tree ring chronologies, monitoring, forecast, prevention, protection.

As a result of the research work, the structure of the organization of forestry management in the Russian Federation and its constituent entities, acting following the new forest code of the Russian Federation in 2006, was studied. Assessment of the effectiveness of the use of forests in the republic, a multiple correlation analysis was applied. As a result, it was revealed that in the Republic of Tatarstan, the primary income for the use of forests is accounted for by timber harvesting, the bulk of which is accounted for by the use of coniferous forest areas – 81 %, soft-leaved, and hard-leaved forests accounted for 14 % and 5 %, respectively. Taking into account the share of exploitable forests for the receipt of payments from the lease of forest plots for all types of use (harvesting and collection of non-timber forest resources; hunting; farming; recreational activities; geological exploration of mineral resources; development of mineral deposits; construction, reconstruction and operation of communication lines, roads, pipelines and other linear facilities; payment for the conversion of forest land to non-forest land and the transfer of forest land to lands of other categories) in the Republic of Tatarstan, the structure of forests by farms affects, and on the contribution to payments by type of use, soft-leaved farming brings 78 %, hard-leaved 12 % and coniferous 10 %.

Abstract Leśnica, today the settlement on the western edge of Wrocław, formerly was an independent town, located on a previously wooded area, with a linear street system. It developed in the Middle Ages around the castle and church playing a service role for the Silesian Piast court on their way to Legnica and during hunting. In the thirteenth century it received city rights, and lost them in the eighteenth century. After the Piast dynasty had died out, it was sold by John of Luxembourg, and repeatedly changed its owners. In the nineteenth century it developed thanks to the industry, tourism and a convenient railway connection to Wrocław as well as hotel and restaurant facilities. In 1928, Leśnica was incorporated into Wrocław. After the Second World War, it lost its cultural continuity. In the 1970's, middle-heigh and high prefabricated buildings were built in the vicinity of a residential district. At the end of the twentieth and early twenty-first century, local industries were liquidated, and intensive land development started, causing the systematic blurring of its small-town character and its urban space started to acquire a character of a big city. In 2004, the old part of Leśnica was entered in the Register of Monuments. Also a ring road was planned, moving the cumbersome and dangerous transit traffic away from historic Średzka Street beyond the southern border of the settlement.

Full textAbstract:
Although Neospora caninum is an important veterinary pathogen, veterinarians in various areas including in Mainland China lack a full understanding of neosporosis distribution in dog populations. This study aims to determine the emergence of anti-N. caninum antibodies in canine populations classified based on breeders, herdsmen, and huntsmen in northeast mainland China. In addition, the risk factors associated with seropositivity were explored. An indirect immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT) was performed on canine serum to determine seroprevalence. Logistic regression models were used to collect and analyze individual and management data, in order to determine high-reliability predictors of seroprevalence as well as the level of anti-N. caninum antibodies. Among the 476 dogs tested, 95 (20%) were seropositive. Mixed breed (OR 1.53), former strays (OR 1.38), dogs living on cattle farms (OR 2.30), hunting dogs (OR 1.22) as well as raw meat feeding (OR 1.66) were correlated (p < 0.05) with N. caninum infection. Interestingly, the seropositivity of dogs on cattle farms was higher (28%) than that of those (24.8%) living in breeding facilities (p < 0.05). A large number of seropositive dogs were found on cattle farms in the study region, suggesting horizontal transmission between dogs and cattle. Therefore, this source of infection should be studied further, and should be a strong consideration in differential diagnoses of dogs raised on cattle farms.

Full textAbstract:
Deer are animals that currently still have conservation status as protected animals. However, for the activities of breeding and caring for deer animals, they are allowed and given legal payment by the government. However, in practice, there is still a lot of illegal deer meat or the result of illegal hunting which is also sold in the Indonesian market. Recording of deer seed genealogy and legality of breeding is one way to differentiate between illegal and legal deer meat sellers. However, due to the manual form of recording, human errors often lead to errors in recording. Therefore we need an application that can handle manual recording coupled with the implementation of RFID on meat so that it is expected to facilitate the existing recording process. The purpose of this research is to create a deer recording system application that can assist users in making sales and purchasing transactions as well as checking the lineage of deer seeds using the implementation of RFID. The method applied is through the design of Use Case Diagrams, Entity Relationship Diagrams, flowcharts, and using the Laravel 7 framework with the application of MVC to produce a Deer Recording System (SRS) application aimed at helping breeders. After the application was generated, testing was carried out on 84 buyers and prospective buyers of deer meat in deer breeding in Kudus, and the results showed that the EE (convenience) and FC (facilities) variables had a significant correlation with the BI variable (desire to return).

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe Tibetan antelope or chiru Pantholops hodgsonii is endemic to the Tibetan plateau and was once abundant over vast areas of high elevation grassland habitat. During the 20th century, however, the population declined greatly in numbers. Hunting used to be the main threat to this species but recent actions by the government and wildlife protection organizations have brought this under control. With the development of north-west China, conflicts between development of transportation facilities and conservation have become more acute, and heavy traffic on the Golmud-Lhasa highway and the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet railway across key migration corridors have disturbed the migration of Tibetan antelopes. During June to August 2003 and 2004 we monitored the movement of Tibetan antelopes across the railway and highway and recorded their passes at wildlife crossing structures, which was the first use of such structures in China. Our results show that the efficiency of passages greatly improved between 2003 and 2004, and that use of wildlife corridors was affected by the structure of the passage, presence of wolves, recovery of vegetation following damage during construction, and other factors. The disturbance to migration of Tibetan antelopes included infrastructure, human activities, road traffic, construction of the railway and so on. The impact of infrastructure, especially transportation development, on the habitat and migration of Tibetan antelopes are the main factors that threaten this species now and in the future.

Full textAbstract:
The existence of wildfires has been present since before humans, eventually, humans learned to control it. Today, fire is used for light, warmth, hunting, gathering, agriculture, energy, and so on. Fire has led to the evolution of flora and fauna of the world and the development of human society. Fire is both a natural and manmade disaster that causes a significant threat to life, property in residential, urban, rural areas, as well as industrial areas and the environment. Impacts of fire can be social, economic, and environmental, such as demolishing wildlife habitat, watershed and water supply damages, damage to property such as public recreation facilities, trails, campgrounds, and signs that affect tourists, destruction of timber, degraded air quality, and smoke-related illnesses. Fires when not controlled become disasters that should be addressed. This is done through disaster management, which can be summarized through the disaster management cycle that includes mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Disaster management of fire should be carried out in accordance with the Disaster Management Act, the Fire Brigade Service Act, the National Veld and Forest Fire Act, and the National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act. Fire in South Africa is a usual occurrence. The National Disaster Management Center recorded that in 2016/17, over 17,000 fires occurred, destroying almost 5,900 dwellings, resulting in the death of 142 people. Fires greatly affect informal settlements as well as other hazards that are poorly built and overcrowded, therefore are vulnerable.

Full textAbstract:
In today's conditions, the issues of feeding, maintenance, upbringing, training, and prevention of infectious diseases were and are relevant in dog breeding. Many primarily foreign scientists conduct research in this field of science. However, scientists in Ukraine do not pay enough attention to the study and improvement of the technology for feeding and keeping dogs in kennels of departmental institutions, mainly where dogs are used to help people and serve. A dog is a man's best friend, reliable assistant, and faithful companion. Even in ancient times, a person tamed a dog and adapted it to perform various tasks. People use sled dogs to move over challenging terrain and transport various cargo. Guard dogs protect herds of livestock, protect them from predators, and protect critical economic facilities and human housing. Service dogs successfully serve on the border, help to detain criminals, search for drugs and explosive devices, perform the duties of signalmen and paramedics, rescue drowning people, and search for victims in the rubble after an earthquake and swept away by snow avalanches in the mountains. Hunting dogs of all breeds help hunters search for and catch wild animals or birds, making hunting interesting and exciting. The article assesses the technique of feeding dogs in the “Home of Rescued Animals” BF conditions. The reported data shows that the number and breed composition of dogs has been gradually increasing over the past year, and by the beginning of 2023, it will be 84 dogs. The basis of the diet for dogs is the food of animal origin (offal, meat, milk, and dairy products, animal fat), plant origin (oat groats, barley, millet, vegetables), sea fish or seafood, mineral additives (bone meal, table salt ), vitamin preparations (Tetravit, Catozal). In the conditions of the BF “Home of Rescued Animals”, dogs are fed twice a day – in the morning and the evening, approximately 1.5 hours before the walk and 30–60 minutes after the walk. Feeding dogs depends on the daily routine–drinking all dogs without restrictions. The blood test results prove that all physiological processes in the animal's body commonly occur without deviations. In current conditions, the basis of a dog's health, longevity, and good physical condition is a complete and balanced diet. The type of feeding should meet the needs of the dog's body and differ depending on the stage of the life cycle (young growth period, sexually mature dog, animal in the aging period) and the characteristics of physiological development (lack of various physical activities, increased physical activity, pregnancy and feeding puppies, etc.).

RADS Journal of Biological Research & Applied Sciences 11, no. 1 (September 21, 2020): 1–8. http://dx.doi.org/10.37962/jbas.v11i1.165.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Study of behavioral conformations play a significant role in ex-situ conservation of ungulates particularly of deer to propagate deer farming. Due to advancement in animal hunting techniques, captive breeding is the best solution to propagate animals for sports or other traditional & medicinal uses. Due to the lack of management methods, captive breeding programs have been used on trial and error basis for rearing of wild animals like Chinkara.
Objectives: The present study was planned to investigate behavioral patterns in captivity to explore factors over reproductive success of the Chinkara and potential of this wild animal (Chinkara) for deer farming practices in Pakistan.
Methodology: Present study was conducted on the behavior of Chinkara (Gazella bennettii) [wild-caught (WC)=20, captive-bred (CB)=10] for a period of one year from April 2013 to March 2014 at Captive breeding facilities for ungulates, Ravi campus Pattoki, University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (UVAS), Pakistan.
Results: The behavior of captive-born and wild-caught animals was observed by focal sampling pattern to frame conservation strategies for successful management practices for promotion of deer farming in Pakistan. Similar behavioral patterns were observed in both WC and CB animals but WC male Chinkara displayed a higher degree of agonistic interaction than of CB males. From these results it is predicted that there is no obvious immediate effect of captivity on behavioral configurations up to 10 generations in Chinkara.
Conclusion: It is suggested that Chinkara is not suitable for domestication like Goat until further studies on ethology of Chinkara.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the problems of protecting and developing traditions and ways of life of indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North through employment. Stability of northern clans is reviewed through the problems related to the development of nature’s potential and the use of the northern territories’ biological resources, the creation of supporting agrarian zones in the inhabited areas and formation of relevant production infrastructure. The article addresses development directions of such traditional industries and trades of the North as reindeer herding, hunting and fishing, and gathering of forest foods. The authors chose for the research the Taymyr Dolgan-Nenets District and the Evenkiysky District of Krasnoyarsk Krai, which are home to a large group of indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North. Research methods include analysis of official and analytical reports, publications, regulations, results of field surveys, and economic calculations. It has been established that the districts under research have substantial resources for the development of traditional northern industries and trades. Having generalized the collected materials, the authors assessed the reserves of the areas’ biological resources, and potential production volumes for the traditional industries and trades, as well as determined locations for production infrastructure facilities. The main constraints to the development of the traditional industries and trades are the poor development of transportation infrastructure, the difficulties related to the export of goods from the areas, the monopolistic nature of the procurement of goods from indigenous peoples, and changes in the state approach to the management of northern territories.

Full textAbstract:
This essay focuses on the processes of territorialization, deterritorialization and reterritorialization through which Euro-Canadian society extended its control along the valley of the St. Maurice River between 1850 and 1930. That territory had been settled by the Atikamekw people where they had established their hunting and fishing grounds for centuries. However, the Atikamekw people were confronted by environmental and technological transformations around the St. Maurice River with the implementation of sociotechnical systems during that time period, as two successive phases of industrialization based on specific water use brought along a proliferation of urban centers and the arrival of the large-scale industry. This was particularly the case when the proliferation of hydroelectric dams along the St. Maurice River and its tributaries followed the construction of fluvial infrastructure to facilitate the floating of wood pulp harvested in the upper basin of the river. Not only did the technical activities surrounding the construction of hydroelectric facilities materially transform the St. Maurice River watershed, they also allowed a symbolic appropriation of the land by the production of maps and surveys that ‘erased’ the presence of the Atikamekw. Physical and symbolic boundaries resulting from these new forms of organization and configuration of the territory restricted the spatial practices and representations of the Atikamekw. Logging confined these people within isolated enclaves (the so-called “Indian reserves”), while dams bypassed their networks of exchange and communication. The aim of this essay is to understand the conflicts between the territorialities of the Atikamekw and that of the Euro-Canadians by focusing on the place of water uses within the geographical imaginations and the land use patterns of these populations.
