He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- Botswana is not normally associated with high levels of poaching, however the report finds that illegal bushmeat hunting is occurring at such as significant scale in the Delta that, “the large quantities of bushmeat reported by some hunters suggests the existence of an organised commercial element to the industry, with capacity to harvest, transport and dispose of significant volumes.
- These large commercial enterprises in Botswana are responsible for hiring staff from communities and also supporting these communities in the form of levies, royalties, or leases, and wildlife based tourism has played a vital part of the country's growth over the last 30 years, creating over 70,000 jobs and contributing to nearly 10% of Botswana's GDP.
- "ʻO ka hoʻokūkū ma waena o nā kānaka a me nā mea ʻaʻa ʻeleu ʻē aʻe no ka mea i kaupalena ʻia ka waiwai pio e hōʻemi ana i ka hiki o ke kaiaolaola no nā meaola nui," wahi a ka hōʻike a, "ʻO ka hui pū ʻana o ka lawmeat kū ʻole i ke kānāwai me ka mea ʻaihue kūlohelohe he mea kūpono ʻole ia a kumu ʻia paha ka lehulehu. ua hōʻole i kekahi mau wahi a no kekahi mau ʻano, "wahi a Kai Collins, Wilderness Safaris Pūʻali mālama ʻāina.
