No no - - the money from tourism either helps the people or helps the animals. Both are good. Absolutely go when you can.
Yes Tolstoy, even Dian Fossey died by murder while trying to protect gorillas.

You have documented some amazing photos that, in a way, are for a posterity that will not be. Oh yes, the gigantic bull elephants are incredible. So beautiful and so tolerant of teeny humans. But their ongoing plight, as truthfully described in your background story, is a stab in my heart and brings tears to my eyes.
Of course, it isn't just ellies; it's also lion, giraffe, rhino, gorilla, etc etc. We in over-developed "1st world" countries (the USA especially) have already stripped our land and wildlife. The "3rd world" poor have been subsidizing our wealth and over-indulgences for far too long. And now we cannot begrudge them for trying to exploit what little they have just to eke out sustenance AND survival in times of economic instability and climate change (contributing to severe droughts).
If the world is to save planet, cultures, people and wildlife that is barely hanging, we, it, needs to see these wild area as "fortunate" remaining geographical accidents and do whatever we can to support them.

You're RIGHT !!! If I could travel, I'd want to go where she's going. However, since I can't, and won't, the photos are very satisfying !!!!!
