Description
While at the Dallas Safari Club @ (https://www.instagram.com/officialdsc/?hl=en)officialdsc (https://www.instagram.com/officialdsc/?hl=en) Convention Kyle welcomes Catherine Semcer a Dphil (PhD Student) in Biology at University of Oxford to the podcast. Catherine is incredibly knowledgeable relating to hunting in Africa. We just skim the surface on many subjects but we focus primarily on Africa. Catherine's PhD is multi-faceted and there is an emphasis on Game Rangers on the dark continent. We discuss poaching and the African wildlife model and how it differs from North America. While this podcast is Africa centric we do get a chance to discuss North America's Wildlife Management Model and if we are on track with this effective model.Catherine currently serves as a member of the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCru) at the University of Oxford where she is pursuing a DPhil in Biology. She serves as a research fellow with the African Wildlife Economy Institute at Stellenbosch University in South Africa and is chair-elect of The Wildlife Society’s International Wildlife Management Working Group. Catherine sits on the advisory board of the Game Rangers Association of Africa, and is a member of the Sustainable Use and Livelihoods Working Group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
