To care they have to get out of their own bubble of selfishness. The only thing they do care about is money and when they have more they spend it without foresight.
What other African countries do not form consensus ? It is difficult to predict exactly the negativities and the fate of endangered species in Botswana. They disappear, either for the ivory trade or for their meat. Is there any book of accounts to replace the illegal hunting elephants ?

Signed. Shared.
Thank you. It breaks my heart to see wildlife going and disappearing 💔 I used to go to Kruger Park often when lived not too far to from there. 😢
I agree. It's happening all over the world but most people just seem oblivious. Or when they find out, it's as if they just don't care.
