If people really care about wildlife in Africa, they need to take steps to preserve wildlife and wildlife habitat in Africa

Elephants could vanish from this Tanzania reserve if poaching is not stopped

If you want to protect wildlife in Africa (and other places) create a financial incentive to people in those countries to protect those animals.  Against hunting? That is actually a misplaced sentiment if you really care about these animals continuing to live in Africa, but you better put your money where your mouth is.  

Go visit and spend money there. Give local Africans an economic incentive to preserve habitat. Send money to help support the parks and the anti poaching efforts. 

 This is probably farther north (since that looks like Kilimanjaro in the photo) but a nice photograph

 Going and visiting helps (it bring cash to countries and incentives to save habitat)

And I agree with SooperMexican, this is the best debate over the Harambe gorilla story (and I think Quanell X is making awesome points):

Of Western gorillas there are Western lowland and Cross River gorillas

Of Eastern gorillas there are Eastern lowland and Mountain gorillas

I kid about Mark Steyn (who is a smart and funny patriot and all around good guy).  Abu Anas al-Libi is being interrogated onboard the USS San Antonio.

Places you should go once in your life: Ngorongoro, Tanzania

It is more correctly described as a caldera  the collapsed inside of a volcano (a crater is typically a blast zone of a meteorite).  It is the largest unfilled volcanic caldera in the world (the floor is about 100 square miles).  Ngorongoro is a national conservation area in Tanzania near the larger Serengeti park (and Kenya's Masai Mara) and is also adjacent to the Olduvai Gorge.

When it comes to landscapes and wildlife, both Kenya and Tanzania are absolutely spectacular.  But among the elite parks both those counties have, Ngorongoro is a very special place and one well worth visiting at least once in your life.
