We would like to share this excellent and well researched article by Dr. Ross Harvey on the trophy hunting of the cross-border Amboseli-West Kilimanjaro elephant population.

We’ve faced a lot of unhelpful, misplaced and unscientific comments from some influential conservationists, particularly after our letter, “Stop Elephant Hunting in Tanzania Borderlands,” was published in Science Magazine. Harvey rightly calls out these critics, stating, “We’re at risk of losing the world’s last super-tuskers, and some of the world’s top scientists are loudly defending trophy hunting while ignoring biological reality.”

is just around the corner, so we are asking you to please read this article and share it far and wide: https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/2024-08-06-killing-of-5-elephants-from-kenyas-amboseli-sparks-major-row/

Conservationists have called for a halt to trophy hunting of elephants from Kenya’s Amboseli National Park that cross over into neighboring Tanzania, following the killing of at least five males with unusually large tusks by hunters in Tanzania.
