@keinea49 Ich war gestern im Herrenwald. Wird jetzt auch schon der Dannenröder Wald geräumt und haben Rodungen dort angefangen?

#Hunting will surely no solve all #conservations problems, but its #prohibition will probably cause more harm than good. https://t.co/53EoXeqBT7 - #TheElephantConspiracy - A story of courage and hope. https://t.co/FwC1HYdqD3

@tikobane A tragedy, totally unnecessary if international conservation strategies dealt with the real cause for poaching and didn’t exclude rural communities from its profits.

Food for thought: Should Western conservationists tell the rest the world what to eat and have local people’s livelihoods criminalised?

[Keith Somerville @KSAfricaHack]

@AHuebschle Clearly not. Not all wild-caught food is illegal and not all transfers diseases. Many communities rely on legal, wild-caught food for protein.

Many conservation systems are wholly or largely dependent on tourism and outdoor recreation for their financial support. I believe we may be about to see why this is foolish and why opening more doorways to investment and diversifying funding streams is essential.

@ThomasLeaman1 @AdamHartScience @WildlifeTruth @AmyDickman4 @KSAfricaHack @DSCNEWSCENTER @Blood_Lions @EleRhinoMarch @RoarWN @WildThingsInitv @mr_calvero @harvross I have personally never hunted, but my research clearly shows that not all hunting and subsequent trophy trade is detrimental to #conservation; on the contrary there is strong evidence that without benefits from well-managed hunting we could lose large areas of wildlife habitat.

@Nenagh9 @ThomasLeaman1 Obviously you didn’t read what you tweeted.

@Nenagh9 @ThomasLeaman1 Pointless again. Don’t know who I’m talking to. You tweetet about the “harmony” in Samburu, and I told you my personal observations, that’s it.

[The Elephant Conspiracy @TheElephantCon1]

@Nenagh9 @ThomasLeaman1 I don’t de-value anything, this was my personal observation in those days, and I want to know from you what has changed to the better since then. Easy, isn’t it?

[The Elephant Conspiracy @TheElephantCon1]

@Nenagh9 @ThomasLeaman1 Would love to hear what has changed in Samburu, my latest observation there a couple of years ago was 3000 cattle in the reserve, much to many elephants and a hammered vegetation.
