As far as imported "wild" animals from developing nations go, the animals are "captive bred", "farmed", or "ranched" as a renewable resource. As soon as the indigenous nationals recognize the inherent value of the animals and the habitat those animals occupy as a renewable resource, they have incentive to protect and conserve them.

This economy/trade provides individuals income as well as benefits the balance of trade for those countries, with exports for cash.

It is a win win for global economic development and for conservation.
