Re: New DEA poster
IMO it would have been better to leave out the "Hunting". It is out of tune with the rest. They could also have done without wildlife products.
Apart from my personal objections it is an excellent idea, but talking to much about money as usual
It seems that nothing works in South Africa if there is not a tempting carrot at the end.

Re: New DEA poster
I assume this poster is not used to attract tourists , but rather to bring awareness to small ( very small ) children 

Enough is enough

Re: New DEA poster
yeah
Then also , I do not think this poster is really encouraging sustainability as far as Baobabs are concerned .
These trees are extremely slow growing , and as such it is not very viable to farm with it in order to harvest the fruit . Yet , the poster advertises " Fruit Powders " showing a baobab tree
On the other hand , buchu , Aloe , and other plants can indeed be farmed on a large scale without having to strip the fruit etc from naturally growing plants
Besides , baobabs are protected trees

The Baobab is the only one that everybody recognise

Re: New DEA poster
What bothers me is that the end of every phrase talks about gain/money. Not a word about the importance of conservation. It is all about how to use nature to earn/make a living.
That's what it is all about. It is written in large letters "The Wildlife Economy"

Re: New DEA poster
Shouldn't the DEA also be about Conservation (even if it is called Environmental Affairs). ("affare" in Italian means "deal"
)

In the USA , when you mention DEA , then it means Drug Enforcement Agency
