“…We applied generalized linear models to binary variables, and fitted these models using the generic glm function of the R statistical package (R Core Team 2020). We applied cumulative link models, also known as ordered regression models or proportional odds models, to the analysis of ordinal-scale variables (Agresti 2002) and implemented them using the package ordinal of R software (Christensen 2022). We fitted multinomial responses using generalized linear mixed models with Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques in the statistical package MCMCglmm (Hadfield 2010).…”

“…], goral [ Naemorhedus spp. ], mountain goat [ Oreamnos americanus ], tar [ Hemitragus jemlahicus ]), and hunting feral goats has already proven to be an attractive offer for hunters in many countries (Argentina, Ireland, Macedonia, New Zealand, Spain, South Africa, Uruguay, USA; Barceló et al 2017). Similar arguments hold for wild boar ( Sus scrofa ), a traditional game species in much of Europe (Massei et al 2015).…”

Rewilding is habitat restoration that attempts to return ecosystems to their state before human alterations were imposed. Rewilding might involve actions that are not desired by society. As a result, a compromised form of rewilding has been proposed that is generally known as rewilding lite, which involves some human intervention to achieve the goals of a more natural state of ecosystems that were historically disturbed by anthropogenic influences. Rewilding lite is gaining traction in Europe where marginal agriculture areas are being abandoned. We addressed a variant that we called livestock rewilding (LR) based on the use of herbivorous livestock species to restore ecological functions and trophic complexity (functional integrity) in abandoned agricultural landscapes. Our objective was to assess societal attitudes and awareness of LR in Spain based on the answers of 1,036 respondents of a self‐selecting questionnaire of 27 closed‐ended questions addressed to the general public using snowball sampling, conducted between March and July 2021. Seventy‐five percent of the respondents supported LR but only on the condition of imposing minimum hazards to people, crops, and property. Ranchers were the least likely societal group to support LR (58%). Women had the greatest enthusiasm for LR (79% women vs. 71% men). Horses, donkeys, and goats were the most preferred species to be included in LR programs, with pigs as the least popular after cattle and sheep. There was support for the removal of excess individuals of rewilded livestock and for the use of their meat for human consumption, especially among male respondents. Respondents were reticent to accept mortality in LR populations caused by natural stochastic events and discriminated between livestock species for population control methods. Respondents preferred non‐lethal methods of population control; involving hunters was a second choice. Some hunters were reluctant to participate in population control of rewilded livestock, especially if they had to pay, and were reticent to shoot equids but keen to shoot goats. There was general support among Spanish respondents for LR, though there were significant differences between societal groups in attitudes towards the type, species, and intensity of management required to minimize hazards to people's health, crops, and the environment. Livestock rewilding is a plausible tool for the restoration of trophic complexity in abandoned agricultural land in Spain that could be used to circumvent the introduction of allochthonous wild species.

“…La caza de cabras es la única actividad de caza mayor que se practica en la isla y se ha popularizado de una forma relativamente reciente en Mallorca. Hoy por hoy, la caza mayor despierta un gran interés tanto en el cazador local como en el turista cinegético debido, entre otros factores, a la recuperación de la cabra salvaje mallorquina o Balearean boc, a la homologación de trofeos por parte de organismos internacionales (Safari Club International y Conseil International de la Chasse), al diseño de estrategias de gestión en los cotos (Certificado de Calidad de Caza Mayor), a los avances normativos específicos, a la diversidad de modalidades asociadas (rifle, arco y perros y lazo) y a su contribución en la conservación y sostenibilidad de los espacios de montaña (Seguí Campaner, et al, 2014; Barceló Adrover, Seguí Campaner y Rengifo Gallego, 2017 Como apunte complementario cabe indicar que en 2014 los ingresos obtenidos por el Consell de Mallorca mediante las licencias de caza fueron 435.417,87 € (se expidieron un total de 11.420 licencias, aunque había más en vigor debido a que se pueden tramitar por uno, dos o tres años) y los ingresos derivados de las matrículas de cotos de caza fueron 372.231,48 €. Por otra parte, se otorgaron 133.369,29 € a las sociedades de cazadores en concepto de subvenciones para el desarrollo de actividades sociales y ambientales.…”
