A living elephant in Kenya is worth $14,375 in income from tourists for every year of its life, and elephant-related tourism brings about $200 million each year. It is estimated that the ivory from an average elephant is worth about $1000. It is interesting to observe that tourism in Africa (often criticized for its disrupting impact on the environment) is the major cause of elephant survival. However, the elephant dilemma is not that easy to solve. For instance, Zimbabwe's culling programs are seen as essential for the running of its protected areas since the revenue from hunting elephants is allocated to the parks.
