I agree with most of what is written here, although I believe that in societies like Nigeria were the government has shown a lack of sufficient interest towards wildlife conservation, the private sector and buoyant NGOs should be the driver of wildlife conservation... Wildlife should be managed in an economically viable way (not hunting) for the betterment of the wildlife area being conserved, as well as the betterment of surrounding communities... I think one of the biggest problems in Nigerian wildlife conservation today, is the over-reliance of most Nigerian conservationists on government... If we continue to wait for government in Nigeria, all our wild animals will eventually vanish. The Nigerian authorities have a poor history of managing anything...
