Unpacking the numbers

[Alexandro Faria]

I'm looking to write a paper on the benefits of trophy hunting in southern africa from an economic stand point, does anyone here know where I can get hold of applicable data from as neutral a source as possible? Thank you!

 

[BRICKBURN]

There are a significant number of papers that have been written out of UCT and North West University

These authors are going to be an excellent source.

I know and he still comes up with stuff that amazes me all the time, not sure how he does it… I tried to replicate but can't get to that level for some reason, it must be my computer. As for the title it will come in due time… just not really not sure yet what that means!
