Just saw on the news, British helicopter pilot shot down by poachers in Tanzania. Unfortunately he was killed.

Wow, this is a telling quote from that article:

"In 2014 the US Fish & Wildlife
Service stopped the importation of hunting-
trophy ivory into the USA. This move
is a disaster for the Selous, as most of its
income is directly or indirectly dependent
on elephant hunting. If our remaining 15,000
elephants are wiped out in the very near
future, this ban would be a major reason."

I agree with you vancewalker007.
