The majority of trophy hunters are from the United States. Under the U.S. federal Endangered
Species
Act, hunters must prove before they import a trophy that killing the animal aided in the “positive enhancement” of a
Species
.
Africa
Chad
Elephant hunting or elephant
Poaching
and exploitation of the
Ivory
trade are illegal in Chad and pose a major threat to elephant populations. The profitable
Ivory
industry is also a threat to the lives of rangers, even in the national parks, such as Zakouma National Park, the worst-affected area.
Kenya
Elephant hunting, which used to be an accepted activity in Kenya, was banned in 1973, as was the
Ivory
trade. Illegal hunting continues, as there is still international demand for elephant
Tusks
. Kenya pioneered the destruction of
Ivory
as a way to combat this black market. Elephant
Poaching
continues to pose a threat to the population. (Wikipedia)
Zimbabwe
2022: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service informed some hunters last month that it would allow the import of six elephant trophies into the United States from Zimbabwe.
