How many wildlife conservationists have been murdered in Africa?

I've tried to look up many times how many conservationists have been murdered in Africa and have not been able to come up with a list. It's quite a large number. These people should be honored for sacrificing their lives for wildlife. I can think of these off the top of my head. Can you guys think of anymore?
Joy Adamson
George Adamson
Joan Root
Dian Fossey
I know there are many more. These are just the famous ones.
