Trophy hunting Q&A: How can killing animals help protect them? Why has Prince William been criticised?

The duke faced a backlash for describing the practice as 'a justifiable means of conserving species under serious threat'

trafficking of wildlife goods, Prince William surprised many by coming out in defence of trophy hunting.

The duke was criticised for describing the practice as “a justifiable means of conserving species that are under serious threat” – but is it really such an unreasonable view?
What exactly is trophy hunting? 

A legal form of wildlife hunting in which “sportsmen” pay large sums of money for the right to kill animals and take home a trophy. If you’re willing to pay, and provided you abide by strict permit conditions and quotas, pretty much all African animals can be legally hunted in such a way.
