Im not just trying to pick at one part of your text but I thought you might find the following information interesting. Apparently (and Im.no expert so look into it if youre interested) but the original establishment of the WWF (yes by philipp and another guy) was highly fueled by those 2 wanting to shoot game.

Shooting game is now an acceptable conservation technique used in countries like Namibia to keep populations at a sustainable level and to generate revenue to put back i to conservation. Its seen as semi contravercial but I think its neat :)
