Humans  have  been  hunting  wildlife  for  thousands  of  years.  Today        wildlife        is        hunted        for        food,        clothes        or        medicine.        Unless        these        activities    are    carefully        controlled,        the        hunted        species    at        risk.        In        fact,        there        are        many        examples        where        species        have        disappeared        because        of        over-hunting.        But        evidence        suggests        hunting        non-endangered        animals      in        a        large        number        of        economic        benefits        for        communities,        provided        that        local        people        carefully    it.        However,        it’s        possible        there    much  greater  risks  if  the  species    is        endangered.        Unless        the        number        of        animals        that        are        born        and        live        to        adulthood        is        higher        than        the        number        which        are        killed,        future        populations    will    die    out.        And        this        is        not        an        easy        thing        to        measure        -        counting        animal        numbers        is        expensive        and        takes        time.        Communities    will    need    to        consider        all        the        social,        cultural,        environmental        and        economic        effects        if        they    to        allow        hunting,        and        make        decisions        using        facts,        not        opinions.
