Three questions, asked of each country's actual wildlife statute: can the State own it, can a private party own it, and do communities hold a real right to it. The answer shapes whether wildlife can be a business asset (ranching, ecotourism concessions) or stays a purely public resource. Baseline is WRI's 2013 "Rights to Resources" survey; cells marked ● have been independently re-verified by Canopy against the current statute, with the exact section and a verbatim quote.
