Dr John Hull presents at Umea University, Sweden
On September 29th, over 35 researchers interested in the social sustainability of hunting tourism gathered at Umea University, Sweden to share best practices and information on attitudes, impacts, and the informal and formal processes affecting hunting and fishing in peripheral areas of northern Europe and North America. Dr. John Hull, NZTRI Associate Director was invited as a guest speaker to present case study research from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
Started in 2008 North Hunt is a three-year international project that has been awarded funding by the European Regional Development Fund within the Northern Periphery Programme. North Hunt involves a partnership of ten organisations from Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Scotland and Canada. These are governmental agencies, research bodies and industry related organisations along with entrepreneurs in each of the countries. North Hunt is co-ordinated by the University of Helsinki, Ruralia Institute, Finland.
