Sustainable hunting in South-East Asia
One of my buddies asked me a question and I don't have an answer for him. So, I thought I would run it by here.
He is a big hunter. As in, he travels for hunting... a lot. However, he tries to be ethical about it. He wants to know if there is any hunting in South-East Asia that is sustainable, as is it doesn't damage the environment.
I know there is government legalized hunting in several countries in SE Asia, but that doesn't necessarily make it sustainable. Anyone know of a program in SE Asia that fits?
I've looked in hunting forums, but for the most part it just seems a bunch of guys who like to go around shooting stuff. They pretty much just consider the legality of it.
Edit: Countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Papau, Timor, Philippines.

One example in Papua New Guinea of sustainable hunting is the Tree Kangaroo. Not exactly big game, but it's different, and fits how the locals look after their environment and culture.
