RE: For the first time in 20 years, a spotted hyena has been found in the Batéké Plateau National Park in Gabon, which shows that the conservation efforts in the area has not been in vain
Nice with some good news. I read in the paper (I think it was DB) that a hunter got killed while he was hunting lions. I would not say I support that, but I have to admit that I don't feel very sorry for the hunter either, especially if he hunted illegal. Hunting for trophy's is something I never would understand. Why not hunt with a camera instead? :)
Yeah, good news is always nice when it comes to conservation biology. Unfortunately they are often not as common as the bad news.
I read that too, and it is very ironic. I am personally against trophy hunting, despite the fact that it often is very good for the community. Hunting a lion can cost over $100,000, and much of this goes to conservation efforts as well as the local community, so it can be good, but I also agree that the only shooting should be done with cameras.
