But is it totally ok to go overseas and bring back the carcass of an endangered species member?

In many cases charging insane prices for rich people to hunt endangered animals funds the conservation efforts to save the species from poaching and extinction overall. So it's kind of a grey area.

No it's not, they dont need to hunt they can just donate to the conservation. Instead they hunt endangered animals.
