NRMP Natural Resources Management Project RADs - Remote Area Dwellers ARB Agricultural Resources Board NCS National Conservation Strategy TL Thusano Lefatsheng • i i 1.0 INTRODUCTION There is a general lack of success in the existing natural resource degradation abatement strategies in Botswana, particularly resources which are vital for livelihoods in rural areas (e.g. land, water, veld products, etc. ). The situation of resource depletion continues to worsen, despite heightened campaigns by both government, NGO's, and private sector alike. The campaigns have however, increased awareness of environmentally negative aspects of resource utilization and development compared to the past few decades (Sekhwela, 1990). Much of these campaigns are directed towards rural communities who are directly depended on exploiting environmental and natural resources for a livelihood. Non-sustainable means of resource utilization and development are commonly used by the rural populations, who are also believed to have a wealth of knowledge about various important and valuable natural resources. Such knowhow forms a framework of tradit iona 1 and indigenous resource utilization and development which communities have lived with for millinea and has become part of livelihood strategies. Any new type of framework or strategy is most likely to be judged against the existing and trusted ones. Consequently, introduced strategies have to be highly beneficial in the eyes of the grass roots, otherwi se old strateg i es pers i st and the status quo is maintained. The result of which is failure of resource degradation abatement strategies. This report makes some proposals towards improving management strategies of Grapp le plant (Harpagophytum procumbens DC) in Botswana, following some revelations on the lack of adoption of conservation measures introduced by Government some years ago by Grapple plant harvesters (Sekhwela, 1993). The proposals are preceded by a general review of problems of natural resource management and conservation, with some examples of successful cases of management strategies elsewhere also highlighted. 1.1 General Background The acceptance and use of existing indigenous technical knowledge of environmental and natural resources as a basis for the development of effective and sustainable resource management techniques should otherwise be obvious. But lack of ways of capturing such knowledge has led to the insistence of the superiority of modern scientific know-how, which in most cases is fragmental and often lacks social aspects. This has impeded the use of indigenous technical knowledge for the development, protection and sustenance of valuable environmental and natural resources. The consequences of which has been the development of natural resource management techniques and policies devoid of existing indigenous resource management systems which take account of cultural and social issues. The newly introduced management systems often need enforcement machinery, and in most cases success is limited because of likely resentment and antagonistic attitudes. The foregoing truly reflects the current natural resources management and conservation strategies in Botswana, characterised by highly centralized systems which have in fact killed traditional and indigenous natural resource management systems. Centralization has disempowered the people, and eroded traditional institutions for the control, rationalization of resource utilization, development and conservation. Such institutions are typical of societies the world over which are still reliant on their own traditional and indigenous systems of resource utilization, development and conservation for subsistence livelihood (Sorensen, 1993). The effectiveness and success of such systems depended (lor depend) very much on the strength of community / based institutions and other st ructures, which in fact reflect the power the communities had (or have) on the control of their resources. After destroying community based institutions and other structures by disempowering of the grassroots, modern government impose their own institutions. Normally such institutions for natural resource management assume lack of knowledge of any resource management strategies among resource users. Consequently traditional and indigenous resource management techniques are not recognized nor made use of. As such, the cultural and social aspects which differ among communities are ignored by the standardized and imposed framework of natural resource management and conservation. This creates resentment and antagonistic attitudes as the newly introduced systems are perceived in terms of denying the communities the use of their own frameworks of the natural resource utilization, management and conservation. Normally their frameworks are holistic in nature, including various cultural aspects, ethno botany and other aspects of ecological know-how, resource development techniques, conservation, etc (Sorensen, 1993). Relevant examples of such mechanical insensitive and deculturalization

  • Geology and Paragenesis of the Boseto Copper Deposits, Kalahari
    GEOLOGY AND PARAGENESIS OF THE BOSETO COPPER DEPOSITS, KALAHARI COPPERBELT, NORTHWEST BOTSWANA by Wesley S. Hall A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geology) Golden, Colorado Date _________________________ Signed: ______________________________ Wesley S. Hall Signed: ______________________________ Dr. Murray W. Hitzman Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date _________________________ Signed: ______________________________ Dr. John D. Humphrey Associate Professor and Head Department of Geology & Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT Detailed lithostratigraphic, structural, and petrographic studies coupled with fluid inclusion and stable isotopic analyses and geochronological studies indicate that the Boseto copper deposits formed initially during diagenesis as metalliferous brines ascended along basin faults and moved along a stratigraphic redox boundary between continental red beds and an overlying reduced marine siliciclastic sequence. The hanging wall rocks to copper-silver ore zones comprise comprises a series of at least three stacked coarsening upwards cycles deposited in a deltaic depositional setting. Early copper mineralization may have been accompanied by regionally extensive albitization. Later multiple pulses of faulting and hydrothermal fluid flow associated with a southeast-vergent folding event in the Ghanzi-Chobe belt resulted in extensive networks of bedding-parallel and discordant quartz-carbonate-(Cu-Fe-sulfide) veins. This contractional deformation-related vein and shear system was responsible for significant remobilization of pre-existing vertically and laterally zoned copper sulfide minerals into high- grade zones by hot (250-300˚C), syn-orogenic, metamorphic-derived hydrothermal fluids. Orientation analysis indicates that the mineralized veins probably formed in association with a flexural slip folding processes.

  • How CKGR Evictions Massacred the Native Citizens (Basarwa) Through HIV/AIDS
    African Educational Research Journal Vol. 5(1), pp. 75-90, March 2017 ISSN: 2354-2160 Review Brutal development agenda by political panjandrums in Botswana: How CKGR evictions massacred the native citizens (Basarwa) through HIV/AIDS Dama Mosweunyane Department of Adult Education, University of Botswana, Gaborone, Botswana. Accepted 13 October, 2016 ABSTRACT The political and economic empowerment of Basarwa in Botswana has never generated a lot of interest in the manner it did following their eviction from Central Kalahari Game Reserve. Most human rights organisations, amongst them Survival International, did bring to the center stage the evictions of Basarwa from Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR). CKGR was established for Basarwa by the British government in 1961 and they have stayed in the area since. The evictions of Basarwa from CKGR culminated into various arguments been generated by governments and NGOs, which were for and against. The government of Botswana advanced that its actions were encouraged by its desire to protect environmental resources and ameliorate the living conditions of Basarwa. The narratives against the government of Botswana centred on the counter argument that the government wanted to start diamond mining following prospecting. What comes out clearly is that Basarwa were not sufficiently consulted before their evictions from CKGR nor were they given any knowledge on HIV/AIDS. This article argues that the government of Botswana did not consult Basarwa before evicting them from CKGR and its actions resulted in Basarwa getting infected with HIV/AIDS. The Basarwa communities have experienced increased mortality, which can be attributed to their unlawful evictions by the Government of Botswana from their ancestral land.

In this stats brief, the reference point of the population projections was the 2011 Population and Housing Census, in which the total population by age and sex is available. Population projections give a picture of what the future size and structure of the population by sex and age might look like. It is based on knowledge of the past trends, and, for the future, on assumptions made for three components of population change being fertility, mortality and migration. The projections are derived from mathematical formulas that use current populations and rates of growth to estimate future populations. The population projections presented is for Cities, Towns and Villages excluding associated localities for the year 2020. Generally, population projections are more accurate for large populations than for small populations and are more accurate for the near future than the distant future.
