But what if the continutuion of such indigenous hunting would cause the species to become extinct (and the culture assimilated?) I am considering using this dissertation as a starting point for a future research thesis, so i would also be interested to know of organisations and/or scholarships, that would be prepared to contribute to or fund such research. Thank you for your attention C.L Powell LLM Student Dept.Law University of Liverpool UK .
