It (Conservation) has paid for a lot of habitat that would have otherwise been turned into a parking lot.

I mostly agree with you on that statement but do you really believe that is what is going to happen in South Africa?

That's harder to believe than "If you like your insurance, you can keep it".

I am generalizing a bit and not referring to any particular continent or region. Fees from licenses, going to habitat, is an important aspect in the equation which hunters are well aware of. I also believe it is helping man be good stewards of this planet.
