Yeah, good news is always nice when it comes to conservation biology. Unfortunately they are often not as common as the bad news.
I read that too, and it is very ironic. I am personally against trophy hunting, despite the fact that it often is very good for the community. Hunting a lion can cost over $100,000, and much of this goes to conservation efforts as well as the local community, so it can be good, but I also agree that the only shooting should be done with cameras.
