[3] Still, due to limited data and issues around ethics, current efforts and other challenges prevent the growth of sustainable hunting as a model.
A common practice of most sustainable hunting models includes using monetary value derived from purchases and spending that money back on conservation.
[10] While recovery is often used once the damage has been done, using it as a precautionary measure has proven effective in that estimates of age restrictions and other regulations are not always fully accurate; thus, temporary complete closure accounts for error.
This project worked to develop conservation planning and has been successful in preventing the overexploitation of resources such as locally hunted animals.
For instance, despite an aim to increase waterfowl populations in the 1990s and 2000s, the number of species most sought by hunters such as black ducks and mallards continued to fall.
These include issues such as private land, the growth of the human population, and the challenge of creating laws/ regulations that protect multiple species.
[9] Conflicting views between those who support sustainable hunting and groups like the Humane Society of the United States make ethical considerations another factor when implementing this system.
[3] Certain geographical areas, such as parts of Africa, rely on mammals that may be endemic or endangered to the world but are still hunted as the main source of bushmeat to allow human survival.
Other challenges include finding ways of systemizing and measuring data accurately and using it to develop a sustainable hunting model that will for sure be successful.
[19] Adverse effects and biodiversity issues have arisen in the case of white-tailed deer in the U.S. from attempts to keep their population numbers high to supply enough game for hunters.
