Zimbabwe lifted a ban on hunting buffalo with bows and arrows in an effort to boost tourism
"ZimParks has relaxed conditions relating to the hunting of buffaloes by allowing the use of specific bows and arrows as part of efforts to diversify options for professional hunters and boost revenue from the sport," the authority said in a statement.Zimbabwe has been at the center of several contentious high-profile hunting incidents. In 2015, the killing of Cecil the lion outside of a Zimbabwean national park sparked international outrage.
Emmanuel Fundira, president of the Safari Operators Association of Zimbabwe, said:"It is not a case of turning up and saying, 'Look I want to go on a buffalo hunt now.' They would need a special permit for that." Fundira added that the demand for bow and arrow hunting was driven by tourists.
