School research project

[Ayaan Jakhura]

Good day to whoever this may concern,

I have got a school research essay, namely the Cambridge IPQ and have decided to do an essay on trophy hunting. The title of my essay being "How is trophy hunting on government land in different southern African countries sustainable and beneficial to the environment?" If there is anyone who can provide any help, whether it be from an outfitter who can send data and stats regarding this topic or anyone who has seen any websites/articles and/or books it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ayaan Jakhura

Try to find the book:
The new game rancher, by Pamela and Peter Oberen.
There are some numbers that clearly describe south African conservation success in last decades.

Look up the CAMPFIRE program in Zimbabwe and I think there is a similar one running in Zambia.

If I may be as bold to suggest, that you might like to slightly tweak the essay title to remove 'How'. I'm guessing that this is a discursive essay with impartial analysis and then conclusions drawn from what you've presented. The 'how' tends to preposition the reader to your conclusion and may undermine the impartiality that those who are marking it may expect. It's your essay so I'm happy if you completely ignore me on this......I'm a parent so I'm absolutely used to it lol

Take a look at these - hopefully helpful

You may also consider providing some comparison and contrast to countries such as Kenya who have banned hunting with disastrous consequences to wildlife and the environment.
Best wishes with your project. Let us know how it turns out.

Thank you very much for the suggestion. My initial research question was actually “Is trophy hunting on government land in different southern African countries sustainable and beneficial to the environment?” It was my project supervisor who actually suggested to change the is to how is. Also thanks a lot for the other resources, it is much appreciated.
