Seven tenets of the American conservation model

In this post I will tell about the seven tenets of the conservation policy. These tenets lay down the framework for the entire model. The first tenet is the public trust doctrine which states that wildlife belongs to all the public. The next is that wildlife cannot be sold in a market. Furs and antlers may be sold but not the animal. All hunting laws must also be made by the public for the public. After that the model states that all citizens can hunt. And that funding for conservation purposes is obtained through the purchases of liscenses and permits. It also calls for non frivolous use of wildlife. Which means that if you kill something it should be used in some way. The last two say that wildlife must be maintained internationally and that it be maintained with current scientific data. In my next post I will address issues with the American conservation model.

American conservation model

Wildlife conservation is the wise use, regulation,and restoration of wildlife and their habitats. In my first post I will talk about the North American conservation model. The model started in the 19th century when American Bison were drove nearly to extinction by settlers. There are two basic principals to the model, fish and wildlife are for non commercial use only. The second principal is that wildlife is managed in such a manner that the population is always sustained. In my next post I will talk about the seven core tenets of the American conservation model. I will also talk about other models of conservation.
