@dwnews: Speaking to DW, Botswana's president Mogkweetsi Masisi doubled down on his offer to send 20,000 elephants to Germany. Berlin threw its weight behind EU plans to restrict or even ban the import of hunting trophies from endangered animals. Botswana says bans like these are condescending and colonialist, pointing to its own wildlife conservation record, and the importance of tourism, hunting and trophies to the local communities. #botswana #germany🇩🇪 #elephants #wildlife
Botswana is home to the world's largest elephant population of around 130,000 – that number tripled since 1984 due to conservation efforts.

Germany imported 162 taxidermed Elephants between 2004 and 2015. Surely the ban of importing these trophies into Germany would not make a tiny dent into the management. Whatever he is going on about..

Endangered or not, they run amok in Botswana and destroy homes, crops, people's livelihoods. They need to be managed.
