20.500.12556/DKUM-98979 Some critical aspects of hunting as sport Hunting has been an integral component of human societies for millennia, initially serving as a primary means of subsistence before evolving into recreational and sport-based practices in many parts of the world. In contemporary conservation debates, hunting remains a controversial yet significant topic, particularly in relation to sustainability and wildlife management. This article explores the concept of hunting as a sport within the framework of sustainable development, examining its ecological, economic and social dimensions. Drawing upon existing literature in wildlife management, conservation biology and environmental policy, the paper evaluates whether regulated sport hunting can contribute to biodiversity conservation and sustainable ecosystem management. The analysis highlights the potential benefits of controlled hunting, including wildlife population management, habitat conservation and the generation of financial resources for conservation initiatives. At the same time, it critically addresses ethical concerns, governance challenges and ecological risks associated with unsustainable hunting practices. The findings suggest that while hunting alone cannot resolve global biodiversity challenges, it can function as a complementary conservation tool when integrated into science-based management systems, supported by effective regulations and inclusive community participation. hunting sport conservation sustainable development wildlife management falconry cultural heritage true false false Angleški jezik Angleški jezik Neznano 2026-07-23 03:09:58 2026-09-03 14:03:10 2026-09-04 03:08:40 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 465-494 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 346:796 285400835 285715715 10.18690/um.pf.1.2026.19 https://press.um.si/index.php/ump/sl/catalog/book/1141/chapter/1374 1 3a019733-8633-11f1-8a94-00155d580e34 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=208529 Some+Critical+Aspects+of+Hunting+as+Sport_(1).pdf Some+Critical+Aspects+of+Hunting+as+Sport_(1).pdf 1 82CEBE24E4A30952AC98BE59EA326838 1f1fadb9e34852af1fb461419d8106d951330043c9bcfe69f0c1d3ea8cb96c38 6980b5f4-a78f-11f1-b55d-00155d0001be https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=211426 Pravna fakulteta 0 0 0
