Figure 2. Results of the questionnaires on wildlife handling regulations and publication of research outcomes by countries. Information was obtained from 29 countries and 30 researchers. Panel A: represents the geographic variation in the existence of animal handling regulations per countries. They were identified as ”contradictory responses” when several participants from the same country responded in opposite terms. Panel B: shows researchers’ opinions on the effectiveness of animal handling regulations. Panel C: shows the proportion of projects with no publication results in the opinion of the researchers surveyed.
