The Claim
Wealth inequality and corruption reduce the effectiveness of trophy hunting as a wildlife conservation tool in South Africa.
The evidence supports a real weakening effect from corruption and unequal benefit distribution. In South Africa, these conditions can divert community revenue, impair wildlife management and accountability, and erode local conservation incentives. However, the scale of the nationwide effect has not been directly quantified, and trophy hunting can still provide conservation or rural benefits in some settings.
