BBC Botswana cancels hunters' licences for killing elephant 15 Dec 2019

「Botswana has cancelled the licences of two professional hunters who shot dead a research elephant.

Michael Lee Potter and Kevin Sharp had voluntarily surrendered their hunting licences, a government statement said.

Botswana lifted a ban on elephant hunting in May, citing growing conflict between humans and the animals.

However the elephant, which was shot last month, had been collared - giving it protected status as a research elephant.」

　象がふえすぎて、人間生活とのコンフリクトが高まってきていた様子。そこで、多少は減らすかとこの五月に方針転換したところ、さっそくやらかし案件が発生した、という。

「Officials said the move was driven by increase in human and wildlife conflict.

Elephants can be very destructive when they encroach onto farmland and move though villages - destroying crops and sometimes killing people.」

　…いっそある特定地域をまるっと自然保護地域にしてしまえば…なんてもおもわなくもないが、そんな3秒で考え付くようなアイディアはまあまず既に敗北済みですわなあ。
