I have a correction to make on my numbers. I wrote: >1 square kilometer (1km*1km) in a rich area naturally is inhabited by >as much wild game as one hunter needs per year (4-5 big animals plus the >smaller). Anything more is from agro fedder. >But as also hunters want to live longer as 1 year,as some animals have to be >left alive. To have baby animals. Thus in a lasting kind of wild game >exploitation, serious estimations go to 10 square kilometers per human. >Anything more will kill of the wild game population in the long run. >This are 10000ha or 50000 acres, right? I have to correct: 10 square kilometers are 10000*1000/10000 = 1000ha. One acre is 4.0468564224E3 m*m. So 10 sq.km are 10000*1000*(1/4.0468564224E3) = 2471 acres if it's not too hot outside :-) to compute properly. Land requirement for one h/g. >How big is your garden? how big is your island?
