Tell me, what happens if we rip away hunting when hunting protects more wildlife land in Africa than national parks?

And that lions are really cute.

This country boasts over 1,000 bird species, vast wildernesses, a superb network of protected areas, the greatest concentration of large game and predators on the planet, excellent lodges and friendly people.
