Re: Hunt Kenya?

Research by the University of Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History and KWS suggests that on average each lion eats livestock worth around $270 a year. "On the other hand, given the size of Kenya's tourist industry and the central importance of lions to tourist satisfaction, each of Kenya's 2000 surviving lions may be worth upwards of $17,000 per year in tourist revenues," says Bruce Patterson, curator of mammals at the museum.




The $270 of livetock a year looked immediately to me extremely low.

Even a single cow in Kenya was worth $100 way back in 1988. Some of the Maasai are actually quite wealthy (by numbers of cattle they own).
