Original: A Strategy of Cash-for-Photos Turns Animal Hunters into Animal Protectors in Indonesia https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://ww
A conservation programme in Indonesia is paying former animal hunters to photograph wildlife instead of killing it, turning poachers into protectors. Reports say the cash-for-photos strategy gives hunters an income tied to keeping animals alive, and the story is being shared as an uplifting example of how economic incentives can shift local communities from exploiting wildlife to safeguarding it.
Why now: People are sharing it as a feel-good conservation success story showing incentives can turn poachers into protectors.
