Ivory’s Curse, a recent report by C4ADS that was commissioned by Born Free USA, suggests that the African population can peacefully coexist with wild animals—but only if two things happen. First, African governments must get serious about tackling their poaching problem. Second, the ecotourism industry, which has historically benefited only a few, must be transformed so that its profits reach a larger segment of the population, winning allies for wildlife from among Africa’s villagers (who often clash with the animals).
