My name is Shavika Maharaj, I am a recent graduate from the University of Toronto with an H.BSc focused on Biodiversity Conservation and Environmental Studies. Through my travels and interactions with various people I have and continue to notice that we as a species on planet Earth have disconnected ourselves from nature. We no longer see its importance and value, and how are we expected to if everything we get is conveniently packaged and made available at our finger tips. Our clothes, our food, the drugs we use all come from this earth’s resources. We could not have achieved the development we witness today without the resources from the environment surrounding us. This evident disconnection has inspired conservation connected, altering my vision to promote an improved connection with the natural world and thereby increasing appreciation, which I hope, in turn will lead to the ability for us to nurture nature.
I always wondered why there was never a wildlife farming program down here. We are so small. Everybody wants to hunt. This could take the pressure off the wild populations. People would complain about the farmed meat not the same as wild meat, but if you allow the free range idea it might actually encourage people to keep their lands naturally forested with maybe some manually planted fruiting trees etc. to help with the farmed population. (On a side note there also needs to be discussions in the under resourced forest rangers and also the corruption within)
IF ONLY people could think in a holistic way rather than their own little microcosm of life.... I think we need to bring back dem gnuyamyam's for people to watch. Not that I really have hope they'd learn anything from it.

Yes, there definitely needs to be a stricter system when it comes to hunting practices. It will require us to be more attentive and educate ourselves. However a lot of these issues is a result of greed and a lack of understanding how our current actions impact the near future.
