| Summary: | "The management of northern wildlife and the advancement of community economic development may appear to be distantly related endeavours to some. Indeed, for most North Americans living in more southern latitudes, wildlife resources are perceived as having limited economic value to communities, producing revenues only as related to the industries of wilderness tripping, big game hunting, and nature tourism. Yet in Arctic and Sub-Arctic regions of Alaska and Canada, where local economies are supported with a mix of cash income and traditional subsistence harvests, styles of wildlife management and approaches to economic development are intimately linked."
