    I wonder what percentage goes to the actual conservation efforts, after all the cuts and bribes by the middlemen

      It depends heavily where it is. Some of the programs are very very good, others are corrupt af.

      The best ones give the people living in proximity to the animals recourse when said animals destroy crops or property. This plus giving back a portion of the fees to help community enrichment projects incentivizes protection of the animals by the locals, which deters poaching and stuff.
