“Earlier this year, Germany’s environment ministry suggested there should be stricter limits on importing trophies from hunting animals. Botswana’s President Mokgweetsi Masisi told German media this would only impoverish people in his country. He said elephant numbers had exploded as a result of conservation efforts, and hunting helped keep them in check.” All of which leads us to this rather unexpected diplomacy-related headline. Botswana threatens to send 20,000 elephants to Germany.
