It highlights that hunting wildlife is not a sustainable or even a sound solution to man–animal conflict situations; mainly the article analyses the misaligned role played by the US regulatory bodies who seem to have lost touch with their respective statutory enactments’ principles and ideological goals. Like addressing the need for mitigating man–animal conflict situations without compromising on wildlife conservation and nature preservation.
期刊介绍:
The Environmental Claims Journal is a quarterly journal that focuses on the many types of claims and liabilities that result from environmental exposures. The ECJ considers environmental claims under older business insurance policies, coverage and claims under more recent environmental insurance policies, as well as toxic tort claims. Exposures and claims from all environmental media are considered: air, drinking water, groundwater, soil, chemicals in commerce and naturally occurring chemicals. The journal also considers the laws, regulations, and case law that form the basis for claims. The journal would be of interest to environmental and insurance attorneys, insurance professionals, claims professionals, and environmental consultants.
