MAUN: Sankoyo Tshwaragano Management Trust (STMT) has forged partnerships with tour operators to make up for their revenue loss caused by the stoppage of the trophy hunting industry.

STMT manager, Galesenngwe Haku explained that they are introducing new activities in their concessions to boost their revenue streams.

In 1996, STMT signed on to community natural resources programme focusing on hunting. However, in 2014 government stopped trophy hunting and instructed all entities like STMT, which generated millions of pula from the industry to switch to photographic tourism. But converting to photographic tourism has been an uphill battle for Sankoyo trust. “Our coffers have dried up. We are undertaking a diversification of our products offering. For us to survive we have to think outside the box,” Haku said.
