Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As income levels rise, people tend to rely less on wild sources of income and more on formal employment or business opportunities. As a result, the dependence on wild income decreases. Moreover, with higher incomes, people are more likely to afford alternative sources of protein or other resources derived from wildlife, making consumptive use of wildlife less necessary. Therefore, consumptive use of wildlife also decreases with increasing incomes.
