Is Wildlife Conservation Sustainable?

Private investors have shied away from investing in Wildlife conservation. This is because for quite a long time, it has been viewed as a loss making business and hence left to governments to run. Its no wonder then that many parks and reserves are managed and financed by governments.
However, with the increasing number of affluent people in the world, this is bound to change. Wildlife tourism is set to grow rapidly. Unlike manufacturing industries that have limitations on production, wildlife tourism is almost limitless. For example, millions of people could tour a single park within a short span.

There is no doubt than China will be the next superpower. Consequently, the number of Chinese tourists to Africa has been rising each day. Almost 500million Chinese travel around the globe as tourists. Most African countries are readying for the influx of Chinese tourists to Africa who come mainly for safari tours. Leading Safari destinations like Kenya and South Africa are investing heavily in infrastructure to accommodate the huge number of tourists that continue to visit. Universities and colleges have introduced Chinese languages to prepare guides for the Asian country. Hotels are springing up all around Kenya each day for similar reasons.
