It seems like the wildlife and environmental officials of South Africa are finally stepping up their game and probably not giving hidden subsidies to the poachers (especially those from richer countries) for the tourism business as much. Things are going a bit better.

Really government agencies are improving their actions. Over time, professional wildlife management has been showing ever better results. South Africa outlined decades ago a road to the future and has been improving ever since. The implementation of community conservation units is one of them. The commitment to donate animals to some communities that commit to this deployment is salutary. If we count all the initiatives, be they public, private and community where the fauna is established, we have a real vision of the importance that this model of conservation represents for the whole Africa. Improving the legal system with tougher punishments and a judiciary more committed to crimes against wildlife is an important step yet to be improved.

Exactly. You said it very well! With the passage of time we will be able to divide news, articles and reports by continent ... and even by country or region. In time we can organize a more definitive format. I am sure that these matters are in everyone's interest. It is with them that we get attuned to what happens with all the wildlife that are addressed here. The news on conservation is very abundant and we have many new features daily. Thank you. Reply
