VOICED : Botswanas marauding elephants trigger hunting ban debate

The video discusses the challenges faced by communities in Botswana due to elephants destroying crops, exacerbated by a 2014 hunting ban. Previously, regulated hunting provided income and controlled elephant populations. The ban has led to economic difficulties, as tourism, the proposed alternative, is not always viable. Botswana, home to a significant elephant population, relies heavily on tourism and diamond mining. The debate between conservation and hunting is driven by economic needs rather than moral considerations, with concerns that the ban may lead to illegal hunting.
