In Africa they do not have the luxury of being able to protect animals which are of no value to the population. If people could ear an income off them they would protect them.

It is not as simple as you put it / would like us to believe. If you would have gone into the story of sable in Kenya more profoundly and the underlying factors which have contributed to their contracted range and low numbers, you would think twice before entertaining such opinions.
In fact most times economics are used as but an excuse / cop out to sit idly by and not confront why wildlife disappears and environments are lost. You have only to look at Oz to know that is so true (as it is for my homeland Continental Europe).
For all good purposes, the conservation cohorts and infrastructure in Kenya would be the envy of quite a few developing and developed nations and the very reason the sorry state of the East African sable antelope is highlighted should count for something.
