Same is said for big game in America, such as the several wild species of Sheep.

I’d like to think that is the case.....but with all the corruption in many African states....I sincerely , have my doubts.
Namibia has done a good job at conservation and as well the hunting. I would guess they bring in close to 50 mil US a year through trophy hunting. Namibia has as well many very large game ranches for hunters. (Ranches in the 10s of thousands of acres.)I agree with your point on corruption throughout Africa, which varies by country. Things as well happen slowly in Africa. TIA= This is Africa
