Chobe National Park, the second largest in Botswana, perfectly
illustrates the uniqueness of Africa?s ecosystems and variety of wildlife
species. However, challenges continue to exist throughout the continent
regarding the integration of Africa?s native species and biodiversity
within protected areas, with social and economic development outside
those areas. Important questions have been raised for decades regarding
the conditions under which wildlife, livestock, and humans can co-exist.
It is imperative that scientists, social scientists, historians, and
governments work together to develop and implement programs that would
ensure the continued preservation of Africa?s rich biodiversity, while
carefully considering the social context in which such programs must
exist.
