Question

The Namibian government has assigned ownership rights of many endangered species to local communities, who have in turn sold hunting licenses for some of the species. Will this process preserve the endangered species?

Answer 1

Answer:

These policies would not contribute at all to the preservation of threatened species. Species in danger of extinction, due to their small number, must be preserved from all human acts that limit their expansion, which is why in this sense any hunting authorization of these species is unfeasible.

Even if it is regulated so that the hunting of these species is carried out in a minimal and progressive way, any threat to an animal species in danger of extinction will be a setback in the measures aimed at its conservation.
