Experts Warn UK Trophy Hunting Import Ban Could Harm African Conservation

Think tank argues the proposed ban would undermine conservation efforts and local economies in African countries.

The Institute of Economic Affairs claims the ban is illiberal and detrimental to conservation.
Revenue from regulated trophy hunting supports habitat protection and local livelihoods.
Critics argue the ban is a form of modern colonialism, disregarding African communities' needs.
Proponents of the ban believe it will protect endangered species and promote ecotourism.
The UK government remains committed to implementing the ban despite the controversy.
