Game reserve

Some game reserves contain several ecosystems, ranging from valley bushveld, savannah grassland and fynbos to riverine forest and acacia woodland; this provides a dramatic improvement on the types of wildlife that are present and the numerous species of birds that thrive in these environments[citation needed].

For regions that suffer political and economic instability, sustainable trophy hunting may be the only feasible source of sufficient income.

Naturally, wildlife decreases with the increase of human presence which puts a strain on the quality of hunting.

The Zambian government established a wildlife conservation fund to act as the responsible player for redistributing funds from the hunting industry into wildlife conservation and community development.

Using game hunting as a conservation tool has negative perceptions that impose harsh restrictions across several countries in Africa.
