Conservation trust decries hunting ban

The CECT manager Frank Limbo said as a stakeholder, the government did not consult them when it decided to ban hunting in Botswana. “There was no consultation. May be others were consulted but not us,” said Limbo.

He explained that CECT was generating between P4 million and P4.5 million per annum out of hunting proceeds.  Although the trust has other businesses, owning two lodges in Ngoma and Linyanti, hunting is what brings more proceeds. Limbo said they would have to engage the government about this ban. If the engagement does not bear fruit, Limbo said they would have to come up with a second option.
