do you think it s incumbent upon the rest of the world to help the economic status of these countries so that this isn t seen as something as rich people flying in to be able to do this? helping to create a proper structure in these countries that are less fortunate. well you hit the nail on the head as far as conservation goes. if you want to conserve a species, you have to go to the country or the place in which that species is and uplift the people who are sharing the same space. so in the case of lions in africa you have to pay them something. obviously in this case this hunter paid a lot of money, but unfortunately, the bigger money is actually ecotourism. people like myself who prefer to go on safari and take a photograph rather than a bullet of a lion, those people who can speak with their wallets. you can decide to go to places that do their conservation protect the wildlife and uplift the communities, and all you had to do was take a picture, enjoy
on monday night, the couple reunited for a wildlife conservation reception where they met with hillary and chelsea clinton. prince william sat down last year to discuss the poaching issue in depth. and here s some of what he had to say. when you see it in real life, it s just as harrowing as when you see it on television, all though you don t have the other smells, the sounds, the feeling that go with it as well, when you re actually breathing and realizing that situation. and it s such a tragic situation to see because they are the most majestic, beautiful creatures, and they don t deserve a humiliating, slightly degrading death. reporter: are you angry about what s happened or sad? i m both. i m sad, like i said, that this has come to this and that we are back here again like from the 80s crisis. and, again, the conservation is not just about poaching, it s about many other things.
