Kenya bans sport hunting nationwide
node
Kenya prohibited sport hunting across the country, committing its wildlife economy to photographic tourism. The ban ended one revenue stream for landholders outside parks without immediately replacing it, which is part of the reason conservancy leasing emerged decades later as the mechanism for paying communities to keep land open to wildlife.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
