Taking hunters to the zoo
Bethan Morgan is on a mission to educate African bushmeat hunters about the endangered wildlife they kill. Emma Marris talks to her about the work.
This month, Bethan Morgan of the San Diego Zoo's centre for Conservation and Research for Endangered Species (CRES) took 14 Cameroonian hunters on a visit to the Limbe Wildlife Centre, on the southwestern coast of Cameroon, to teach them about conservation and attempt to convince them to turn to farming.

so because the western world with its filthy greed has endangered the natural fauna of cameroon, now you want the hunters to completely change their way of life and become farmers? for hundreds of thousands of years, they hunted for food, and the animals were never endangered, and now the white farmers from europe come in, nearly wipe everything out, and you want the hunters to become like the farmers to "conserve nature"? you're insane. it is the farming lifestyle that is destructive. go back to the west, leave africa alone.
