Tell Namibia to put a permanent ban on all trophy hunting

Dear President of Namibia, I urge you to permanently ban all trophy hunting, as trophy hunting is not sustainable, and leads to declines in lions, elephants, and rhinos, and giraffes, and it should be permanently banned.

Why is this important?

Elephants, lions, and rhinos, and giraffes are all endangered and trophy hunting makes the station worse for them. The hunters also target the biggest and healthiest animals, leading to a lack of genetic diversity. Also, trophy hunting does not benefit the local communities, as only 3 percent of the funds spent on hunting ever go to the rural people.
