Original: Trophy hunting more positive than negative for people, nature in sub-Saharan Africa, study finds

The study argues that regulated hunting revenue supports conservation and livelihoods in ways that may outweigh its harms, challenging common assumptions among animal welfare advocates and conservationists.
