Normalizing Hatred and Hypocrisy: The Con-selfserving-ationists of the UK's Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting (and those who agree with them)

By Hank's Voice

The celebrity led, UK based, Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting (CBTH) must not be making enough money from selling their ugly T-shirts and peddling their even fouler lies, as they're amping up their antics again, desperately hoping to hoodwink a gullible public and government into believing that legal hunting is the demise of African wildlife.

The Hidden Crisis - Africa's Largest Wildlife Crime (3-minute Video)

When we think of African wildlife crime, we picture this. Poaching. Ivory. International trafficking.

But there's a hidden crisis unfolding across Africa that dwarfs these headlines.

Every single day, across every habitat.

While around 20,000 elephants are killed annually for ivory…

…millions of African animals disappear into the bushmeat trade.

This is bushmeat hunting, and it's happening everywhere.

Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) in African Conservation

Animal rights activists often portray safari hunting as having no place in wildlife conservation, but it is, in fact, an essential element in the concept of Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES).

PES is an approach to conservation that recognizes the economic value of ecosystem services and creates financial incentives for their protection.

PES involves transactions where a beneficiary or user of an ecosystem service makes payments to individuals or communities whose land management decisions affect the provision of these services.

The basic premise is that the beneficiaries of those services should compensate those who provide environmental services.

When Conservation Meets Community (6-minute Video)

An extraordinary partnership in the ancient granite landscape of the Matobo Hills of Western Zimbabwe is proving that private enterprise and community can thrive when wildlife is used sustainably.

When the Johnson brothers, Guav and Courteney, partnered with the communal land residents who had long struggled with poverty and limited resources, something remarkable began to take shape.
