good point

I'd actually like to see organizations like SCI or DSC control the tags and hunts. The hunt is sold through them and a license fee is paid to the governments involved. I trust SCI or DSC to spend the funds in the correct arena.

I am not an advocate of more regulations in this world. But, regulation through an organization like SCI would be a good thing for endangered species. They could control the funds, issue the permits, pay the scientists and governments. This would provide incentive to increase populations across the board.

Agree. I'm no fan of regulation either, although I don't disagree with some regulation for the protection of things we collectively enjoy (although obviously that is subject to abuse).

The best option is combining some degree of expansive regulation (animal protections, for example) with government/private collaboration to develop protected areas. Providing safe havens for delicate animal populations or ecosystems, especially when done with public-private collaboration, is something I can definitely get behind, as it may require less regulation applying to privately owned land. That too will ruffle some feathers (we all have opinions on Ducks Unlimited, Trout Unlimited, etc.) but I think it is still a good concept to pursue.
