Answer:

Elephant

Step-by-step explanation:

Botswana announced in late May 2019, it would lift the ban on hunting elephants.

That's a controversial move aimed at promoting tourism and attract foreign money into the country. Many see that decision as being short-sighted and putting in danger the big mammal, which has already been killed just for its ivory.

Botswana is a small country in terms of population, only about 2 million people... and has the biggest African population of elephants (about 130,000).
