What kind of demand reduction campaigns do you think can work for these carving enthusiasts?
- matthewmarkus 10y agoHonestly, my view is that demand reduction [1] is a monoculture that has taken over conservation and produced very little positive results. In fact, it could be argued that demand reduction has even increased wildlife consumption via boomerang effects [2]! I would like to see another school of thought, harm reduction [3], challenge the demand reduction orthodoxy. TL;DR: I can think of no campaign that can reduce demand; although, I can think of several that might accidently increase it.
