the GABORONE – Today strive to auction the licenses to kill elephants. It happens in Botswana, the Country with the largest population in the world: 130 thousand. Last year, in may, the government of the new president, Mokgweetsi Masisi , did invalidate a previous hunting ban in force since 2014, launched by former president Ian Khama . Until a year ago, the african Country was considered to be the wildlife sanctuary for the laws put in place to protect the environment. The withdrawal of the ban has raised a fuss and a lot of criticism. To justify the measure, the authorities in Gaborone have made reference to the growing conflict between humans and animals, those animals that destroy crops on a wide scale and threaten the very survival of the residents in some rural areas. It was a long time that the powerful lobbies exerted pressure on the authorities to obtain the removal of the ban on the hunting of pachyderms.
The government now offers 7 packages of 10 elephants each, as reported by the auction house Auction It Ltd, head of sales for the account of Gaborone. Tenderers to participate will have to pay the sum of about 18 thousand dollars. Most of them are americans very wealthy. The government has set a quota of 272 elephants “fold-down” in 2020, of which 202 are intended for foreigners. The hunting season goes from April to September, the dry season, when the grass is low and animals are more visible.
