“Scientific studies demonstrate links w/trophy hunting & population declines; note also: wildlife pop. recover when local moratoria are implemented. Yet exports of hunt trophies continue 2 increase.” WHY? @SafariClubIntl, #LetAfricaLive! @USFWSIntl https://bit.ly/2DxXZJf

#Elephant or #Trophy? Study finds "A living #elephant ... is worth more than $1.6 million in ecotourism opportunities." This is -on average- FAR MORE+ than 'fee' paid by #TrophyHunters to kill. @BWGovernment @Interior @SafariClubIntl, #LetAfricaLive! https://bit.ly/307fTxB

#TrophyHunting & #WildlifeTrade advocacy FAIL under the banner of 'sustainable use'. Same movement also linked to #ClimateChange Denial. @BWGovernment @USFWSIntl @Interior @SecDebHaaland @SafariClubIntl, #LetAfricaLive! @BBCEarth @AP @guardianeco https://bit.ly/3gKYaz6

What the sudden death of 400+ #elephants in #Botswana could mean 2 species. It's not just a loss 4 ecosystem & conservation efforts, but will be noticed by other elephants, as they grieve their departed. #NotTrophies @SafariClubIntl, #LetAfricaLive! https://bit.ly/31sVW0Q

"While #TrophyHunters suggest $USD 326 million spending by #hunters is large & important part of tourism sector of 8 study-countries, it's less than 2% of overall $USD 17 billion in direct tourist spending" https://bit.ly/3mU4WbC @SafariClubIntl, @USFWSIntl #LetAfricaLive!
