When you make something a commodity there is an inherent interest in preserving it. The parties making $$ off these hunts will have a vested interest in preserving the species. That’s why near extinct African animals relocated to the United States are thriving here and their populations are growing.

That’s the only way elephants will be preserved in Africa. Without hunting money, their will be no parks, conservation or protection. So instead of a few elephants taken through hunting, you’ll have elephants killed by the 1000’s through pouching, angry villagers, and lions.
