A crisis of too many, not too few (Part 5)

Being located on the edge of the Okavango Delta, roughly half of Sankuyo’s land has strong potential for tourism while the other half is only suitable for hunting.

Despite the claims that we hear about ecotourism, our data showed that it contributed less than 20% of the community’s wildlife economy, compared to more than 80% from hunting. Tour operators were also far less engaged in community affairs and wildlife management than hunters.
