Trophy hunting of African elephants is meant to help conservation efforts by providing funds, but evidence shows it often fails to meaningfully support communities or curb poaching. While Namibia's program channels some money to communities, corruption in Zimbabwe means villagers see little benefit despite high hunting fees. The small number of jobs and minimal returns to landowners have not incentivized protecting elephants, whose populations continue to decline sharply in Tanzania, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe due to poaching. While trophy hunting could help with management if revenues were fairly distributed, in reality political elites often seize the most profitable hunting areas and revenues do not trickle down as intended.
1) Poaching of African elephants in Niassa National Park in Mozambique is occurring at an alarming rate of approximately 5 elephants per day. Organized criminal groups armed with AK47s and large caliber hunting rifles are killing elephants mainly for their ivory tusks.
2) The author describes encountering many elephant carcasses during aerial surveys, including calves left orphaned and adults shot numerous times. The scale of poaching is having devastating impacts on the elephant populations in the park.
3) While anti-poaching efforts are underway, the author believes that more coordinated international action is needed to curb demand for ivory products, especially in Asia, to have any chance of preventing the local extinction of
An arson fire broke out at the Las Vegas Hilton hotel in February 1981, just 90 days after the MGM Grand fire. The fire was started by hotel busboy Phillip Cline and resulted in 8 deaths from smoke inhalation or jumping. Cline, who had an extensive criminal record including theft and drug charges, was later convicted of 8 counts of murder and arson. The fire exposed issues with the hotel's fire safety systems, as smoke detectors were offline and the hotel had been in the process of upgrading its security.

Walking With Elephants is a documentary film about the declining elephant populations in Africa and the obstacles they face. It will follow herds of elephants across 7 African countries to show the barriers to their continued survival, including habitat loss, poaching, and being confined to ever-shrinking reserves. The film aims to convey the intelligence and social structures of elephants, the importance of allowing their long migrations to continue, and what needs to change for elephants to avoid extinction. It will be informed by experts from Singita, an organization that manages over 1 million acres of protected land housing elephant herds.
Walking with Elephants is about the last great herds of elephants in Africa.
With a population of barely 350,000 Savanah elephants left, the biggest of the planet’s land animals face extinction within our lifetime. Half of these elephants during the dry season are densely populated in northern Botswana as they are protected by the government there. However, across the border into Namibia, Angola, Zambia and Zimbabwe – where many of the elephants return in the wet season, their future is fraught. In Kenya and Tanzania and South Africa, nearly all of the surviving elephants are enclosed in game reserves and no longer roam the wilderness that once saw them travel up to one hundred miles a day.
Walking with Elephants is first and foremost about elephants. While these fast disappearing magnificent and intelligent beasts live out their lives, they are being squeezed by humans into ever smaller patterns of behavior. While poaching is highlighted as a major factor in the decline in elephant numbers, it is in fact farming, and in particular cattle farming, that is robbing elephants of the habitat they foraged for themselves and the animals that depended on the grasslands they created.
The document summarizes a safari experience with Conservation Corporation Africa (CCA) in South Africa. CCA operates private game reserves that provide jobs and economic opportunities for local communities while protecting wildlife. On a CCA safari, the traveler has two close encounters with wild animals, including an elephant near the swimming pool of the Phinda Forest Lodge. CCA's model of sustainable tourism has generated millions for conservation and community projects, and ensured protection of wildlife at Phinda, including no loss of rhinos in over 25 years.
The document summarizes wildlife resources found in several national parks and protected areas across Africa, with a focus on Uganda. It describes the various animal species found in each location, including mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and chimpanzees in Kibale Forest National Park. Several parks such as Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth are highlighted for their diversity of species including large mammals like elephants, antelope, and hippos as well as over 300 bird species in some areas. The document emphasizes Uganda's significant wildlife populations that are protected in these national parks.
This document discusses the controversy around trophy hunting in Africa. It summarizes the arguments from both sides. While proponents argue that trophy hunting generates millions for conservation and local communities, critics argue that it threatens endangered species through overhunting, poaching, and illegal wildlife trafficking. The document also notes concerns about the sustainability of trophy hunting quotas given limited wildlife population data, and the use of trophy hunting to supply black markets for rhino horn and lion bones in Asia.

Fishing is one of the most harmful industries. This presentation goes over why fishing is so harmful and provides multiple reasons as to why you should stop eating fish.
Organizations are trying to stop rhino and elephant poaching in Africa. Poaching has dramatically reduced rhino and elephant populations - at least 2 rhinos and nearly 100 elephants are killed daily by poachers. There are now only around 5,000 black rhinos and 20,000 white rhinos left in the world. Elephant numbers in Africa have declined from 1.3 million to an estimated 470,000-600,000. Rhinos and elephants now live in small, fragmented areas of Africa compared to their historic ranges due to poaching for their horns and tusks, which are illegally trafficked for their perceived medicinal value.

Zimbabwe has developed eco-tourism to limit negative impacts on the environment and local people from tourism. Eco-tourism aims to minimize damage to local culture, help social justice, protect wildlife, and generate income for local communities. Tourism in Zimbabwe grew 20% since 1990, bringing economic benefits, but also risks degrading resources if not managed properly. Zimbabwe protects over 10% of its land through national parks and game reserves, home to wildlife like elephants, rhinos, lions, and giraffes. While eco-tourism provides benefits, some challenges remain, like conflicts between wildlife and subsistence farmers living near reserves.
National Elephant Day is observed annually on August 12th to raise awareness about protecting elephants from extinction. It focuses on bringing the world together to help elephants and inform people about the threats they face, such as poaching, habitat loss, and mistreatment. World Elephant Day was created in 2012 to educate about elephant protection and improve policies against poaching and illegal ivory trade. It is celebrated by learning about elephants and donating to conservation organizations.

Article on lions by Megan Webel in South Africa Deluxe magazine Chris Mercer
Lions once roamed across Africa, Asia, and Europe, but now their populations are declining rapidly. Only about 15,000 lions remain in the wild, living primarily in sub-Saharan Africa. Canned lion hunting, where lions are bred on farms to be hunted, threatens wild lions. While some argue hunting pays for conservation, others believe canned lion hunting undermines conservation efforts and should be banned. Countries that have protected lions and invested in eco-tourism, like Botswana, Kenya, and Zambia, have seen greater economic and conservation benefits compared to hunting.

2. In 2005 we visited the South Luangwa Valley in
eastern Zambia.
We were overwhelmed by the diverse and plentiful wildlife
and the wildness of the area.
We wanted to be a part of conserving the local wildlife.
As a result we leased the land for 99 years and built Zikomo
Safari Camp.
3. How can a Safari Camp Save
Wildlife?
• Wildlife is in danger all over the world, and especially in Africa.
• 25,000 African Elephants were poached in 2012.
• Last year 12% of the world’s elephants were killed for their ivory.
4. Better off DEAD or ALIVE?
• Photographic safari camps are one of the best ways to raise
awareness of the value of keeping the wild animals alive.
• Nearly half of all of Africa's lion populations face extinction in
the next 40 years.
5. What’s a Lion REALLY Worth?
Lions are a limited local resource that can be used by locals in one of two ways keep it alive or kill it.
A trophy lion hunter is only one person whom uses a lion one time and pays one time into the
economy. $45000 for 18 days equals short term gains and would require a very short time to replenish
"trophy" worthy stock. On a long enough time line demand would strip the local supply before seeing
any long term gains. This one hunter has little effect to no effect on increasing the locals standard of
living since most of the money goes to the operator of the hunt not the local businesses.
Now take that exact same "trophy" lion charge photographic safari companies an access tax, say a cost
per person as low as $20 and you allowed only groups of 5 tourists at time twice a day to see the lion
in the wild and photograph it. The tourist season is 8 months out of the year. 210 days at $200 a day
equals $42000 a year. A lion lives 18 years in the wild and worth just as much to photographic tourists
(if not more) as a cub as when full grown so over the course of its lifespan a living lion could bring
$750 000 into the local economy.
This model is only using 10 tourist a day, imagine if there were 50 tourists a day; that one trophy lion's
life would be worth $3.7 million dollars in residuals over 18 years for the local economy. If you raise the
price per person to a realistic $60 and had 50 tourists a day, the lion’s life would generate $11.7 million
dollars, or $630,000 a year.
Not to mention the influx of tourist dollars bought to the village by the 21,000 visitors every year over
the course of 18 years. If the average tourist spent $25 while at the village, the lion tours would
generate $378000 a year for a total of $9.4 million in the lion’s 18 years of life. This would go directly
into local businesses and increase the standard of living for all in the chiefdom.
Through Eco-tourism a single trophy sized lion’s life is worth over $20,000,000.
6. Scary African Animal Facts
• Today the entire Giraffe population is less than
80,000 individuals, down from 140,000 in 1999.
• In South Africa alone, 169 rhinos have been lost to
poachers since the start of the year, over two per day.
Rhinos are now extinct in Zambia.
• Mountain gorillas are critically endangered, with about
790 remaining in the world.
• A century ago there were 100,000 cheetahs in the wild;
today there are fewer than 12,000. The species has
become extinct in at least 13 countries.
• Only 300 Addax antelope are left in the wild due to
uncontrolled hunting and harassment by people.
7. African Wild Dog
• Even though protected in parks and reserves, African
wild dog populations have declined to the point that
packs may no longer be viable. In some areas they are
close to extinction.
8. Game Drive Vehicles
Game Viewing Vehicles are an essential part of revenue for a Safari Camp. Usually modified
Land Rovers or Toyotas that offer clear views for all guests and are able to handle the rough
roads in Africa. This Crowdfunder is to raise money to purchase one or more for Zikomo
Safari Camp. With a 12 seat Land Rover the potential gross revenue per season is $240,000.
When $10,000 is raised we will purchase a pre-owned Land Rover Game Vehicle that seats 12
guests. Drives are sold at $55/per person per drive and most guests do 2 in a day, one during
daylight (grazers) and one at night (predators).
9. Unimog game viewer
The Unimog Game Viewer can seat 14 guests can drive anywhere, anytime of the year. With the enclosed
version of the Unimog game drives are possible even in the rainy season.
When $35,000 is raised through Crowdfunder we will purchase a 14 seat Unimog instead of a 12 seat Land
Rover, this increased capacity raises income potential to $300,000 per season (7 months).
The incredible off-road capabilities of the Unimog and an enclosed Game Viewer would enable Zikomo
Safaris to be the only Safari Camp in the Sector conduct Game Drives year round.
Unimogs also have amazing versatility through the various available construction attachments.
10. Unimog Construction Capabilities
Unimogs can be equipped with a hydraulic backhoe, front loader, or other road construction
equipment. These attachments would enable Zikomo Safaris to maintain the access road year
round for guests, villagers and self-drive safari tourists.
When $50,000 is raised we will purchase an Unimog Game Vehicle AND the road construction
attachments. Being open year round has the potential to increase total revenues by 20%+. No
other camp in the Sector is year round giving Zikomo Safaris a monopoly 5 months out of the
year.
11. Zikomo Safari Camp is Finished!
Now that construction is complete on 4 Chalets and Lodge. Starting in May, Zikomo Safaris will have guests
staying in Chalets. Today we need your support to procure game drive vehicles. As one of Rewards we are
offering a 10 day Safari Stay and your group can be on the maiden voyage of Zikomo’s Game Viewer.
When $60,000 is raised Zikomo Safari will have all the Game Viewing Vehicles and road repair equipment it
will need. We will purchase the 12 seat Land Rover, the 14 seat Unimog, and the Unimog road repair
attachments. Zikomo Safaris will have a Game Drive Capacity of 26 and will be open year round.
The potential annual revenues would increase by over $1,00,000 with the combination of additional
accommodations sold during the rainy season and the ability to run game drives every day all year long.
