The survival of many species will depend on Africa's people benefiting from conservation. The survival of endangered species depends on conserving numbers as well as their natural habitat. Africa's people traditionally live of the land, tending to their cattle and planting only enough crops sufficient for their family. Unfortunately subsistence farming often competes with conservation for land. Subsistence farming is extremely vulnerable to natural forces such as droughts and with an ever increasing population pressure people can no longer move around freely.
Tourisms also generates valuable employment opportunities.
We at African Safari Shop understand that for conservation to succeed, it must benefit local communities. We select our partners, bearing this in mind. Copyright 1997 by African Safari Shop.
