Indeed, appalling that @ZacGoldsmith stated on R4 that he had seen no evidence of #conservation benefits of #TrophyHunting. We at @LionLandscapes submitted peer-reviewed examples through the Call for Evidence - was that ignored? Sure @AdamHartScience & others also provided plenty

@ZacGoldsmith either you didn't read the evidence submitted, or are sharing #misinformation based on a personal ideology - either option is shocking. Here is our submitted evidence again, perhaps others could weigh in & reshare theirs too, so you have it? lionlandscapes.org/post/lion-land…
Meanwhile we also wrote a very extensive & detailed report, commissioned by @RoryStewartUK when he was Minister, on the topic of lion trophy hunting, showing conservation costs & benefits. I shared this with @ZacGoldsmith in person but here it is once more wildcru.org/news/new_repor…
@RoryStewartUK @ZacGoldsmith Its one thing to believe the #conservation benefits of TH - such as protecting more natural habitat than National Parks - are less important than personal views, but another to dismiss science. This is no better than a politician sharing #misinformation denying vaccine benefits.
