Big game trophy hunting is a controversial but lucrative business in parts of Africa.
Before the COVID pandemic, many tourists would come to Zimbabwe to hunt big game and take back stuffed animals and trophies as souvenirs.

Taxidermists and tanneries in Zimbabwe are struggling to stay in business.
