Look I am not a supporter of trophy hunting, but really this is another rin a long line of skewed documentaries that dies not come close to looking at the real cause of loss of African megafauna -- habitat loss .Keyna is now the largest exporter of cut flowers, and huge amounts of both savanna and forest has been destroyed to support that industry. An industry that also uses massive amounts of pesticide. Land, wildlife and ecosystems and biodiversity destroyed and not even for food growing. S. Africa nad Namibia
1/3 of all ciut flowers sold in the EU come from Kenya, with hundred of thousands of hectares of former wild areas fenced in and altered to do it. Wetlands and watering holes where wildlife drank are now fenced off.
in 1990 8% of all of Europe cut flowers came from subsaahran Africa, now 70% do.
The fact is the hunting being mentioned isn't primary, secondary, or even tertiary cause of loss of megafauna, it literally has no effect whatsoever since the megafuna is already dying of overconcentration as habitat is lost.
If an area can support 400 lions and there are 600, having 50 hunted is not harmful. If the funds are used to buy more habitat to keep natural, it is a net benefit. And the conflation in this documentary of poaching with hunting is really terrible. Poaching is illegal taking of animals outside of scientifically derived quotas and generally involves killing of animals that are not over-concentrated.
