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.
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)
