Conservationists, most of whom are white, wince at allegations that they want to cut off food to fast-growing black nations. You could save hundreds of animals in a single area if you could ensure a system of properly feeding the people. It's beyond the expertise of most conservationists. That's the irony of the bush meat crisis.

Conservation needs a new vision and new players to get new kinds of results.
