The lion and African bush elephant are classified as Endangered. The leopard and white rhinoceros are classified as Vulnerable and near threatened. The black rhinoceros is classified as critically endangered so cannot be hunted and so is not available at all. The African buffalo is the most popular Big Five game animal to hunt, as its conservation status is least concern.

Famous quotes containing the words conservation and/or status:
“The putting into force of laws which shall secure the conservation of our resources, as far as they may be within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, including the more important work of saving and restoring our forests and the great improvement of waterways, are all proper government functions which must involve large expenditure if properly performed.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“A genuine Left doesn’t consider anyone’s suffering irrelevant or titillating; nor does it function as a microcosm of capitalist economy, with men competing for power and status at the top, and women doing all the work at the bottom.... Goodbye to all that.”
—Robin Morgan (b. 1941)
