Question

In his book at the hand of man, Raymond Bonner argues that Africa should promote
hunting, charging large fees for permit to kill animals (for example USD 7,500 for a
permit to shoot an elephant)
a)What are some arguments in favour of this proposal?
b.What are some arguments against?

Answer 1

a) Arguments in favour of this proposal include:
-The fees collected from hunting permits could be used to fund conservation efforts, such as anti-poaching patrols, habitat restoration, and research into animal populations.
-The fees could also be used to fund local communities, providing them with an incentive to protect wildlife and their habitats.
-The fees could also be used to fund education and awareness campaigns about the importance of wildlife conservation.

b) Arguments against this proposal include:
-The fees may not be enough to cover the costs of conservation efforts, and may not be enough to incentivize local communities to protect wildlife.
-The fees may encourage poaching, as hunters may be willing to pay more than the permit fee to obtain an animal.
-The fees may not be enough to deter wealthy hunters from engaging in unethical hunting practices.
-The fees may not be enough to discourage the illegal trade in wildlife products.
