The basic problem of Africa is that the market value of the average African's productivity has become less than the cost of feeding them, and the first world has run out of spare cash to subsidize them due to our own experiments with socialism. In another generation, two at the most, they will have eaten their way through every herd of moving creatures on the continent.
The only place our posterity will see giraffes, elephants, rhinos, hippos, etc. is in old movies and perhaps a few zoos and tourist attractions.

I'm reminded of the remake pf "The Day the Earth Stood Still", the radical-eco-fascist-fantasy one where Mankind's technology gets disabled at the end, so that humans will die off to a "sustainable" level.
I wonder what would happen if a radical environmentalist group declared to the world that the only way to preserve Africa's wildlife was to kill off the Africans. How many Democrats' heads would explode over that?
