Game parks losing animals

Africa's game parks have lost well over half of their big mammals, such as the lions and buffalos that draw millions of tourists each year, to rampant hunting and farming since 1970. The continent-wide study by specialists, including from the London Zoological Society and UN environment programme (UNEP), late on Monday found big mammal populations inside national parks declined 59 per cent between 1970 and 2005.

However, Elephants and rhinos were not included in the study because of special trade restrictions relating to them.

I think that these african game parks should be more responsible on the care of these animals. They should try to gather back these animals, as hunters may be around to hunt them down, resulting in extinction.
