| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research uses comparative studies to examine people in Ethiopia and Japan who are either newly involved in hunting activities or engaged in alternative hunting methods regarding the sustainable use of local resources. In Ethiopia, direct utilization such as hunting has been severely restricted by various regulations and, as such, many stakeholders have participated in indirect utilization of wildlife such as tourism. Conversely, there is great desire for hunting in Japan, and attention by various stakeholders is increasing on sustainably managing the wildlife population in the country. However, local communities’ involvement in wildlife management is getting weak in both countries. This study suggests that community-based conservation should be reappraised from the point of positive relationships between wildlife and local people, and that relevant institutions designated for supporting sustainable hunting activities are indispensable.
