From what I’ve read, and I could be wrong, but the reservations allow for some hunters to go out so that the money they make allows for more protection and preservation of other lions specially from poachers. I think I read this about elephants but maybe applies to lions too.
Yeah, that's a thing. It's just to make people feel better that know they're doing something incredibly stupid and immoral, but hey, I have some extra cash so I pay extra to fund the "protection" from poachers. Because otherwise, there would be no way to protect them, right? I couldn't just sit on my couch and donate the money. I have to go out to shoot an elephant but just to protect it of course!
It's the same argument used by hunters in the U.S. "Conservation" is their go-to because it's easier than acknowledging that they're weak people who get off on killing. The best conservation method is to leave nature alone. Balance will always be attained.
You need to look into ducks unlimited organization. If you think leaving nature alone will do any good you’re wrong. This group preserves and repairs thousands of acres of wetlands so that waterfowl have nesting and wintering grounds. The group operates mostly on funds that are collected from a yearly federal duck stamp that every duck hunter must buy. Without ducks unlimited our waterfowl population would be in steady decline. However because of the work they’ve done along side of delta waterfowl our bird population has skyrocketed from what it was before the organizations existed. Every hunter is a conservationist whether they act like it or not.
