It is important for tourists to visit the natural habitats of these beautiful animals. It helps to ensure their survival. Some tourists attend to hunt, which isn’t illegal. But it is the illegal poachers that are pushing some species into extinction.
Without the spend of tourists visiting these areas, the land and the protected animals within it, can no longer be cared for. The tourist trade is important for bringing cash into this important conservation work. This includes the hunting tourist. Without allowing for a small percentage of hunting licences, poaching could become prevalent.
