Prof Mbaiwa discusses the effects of the 2014 Botswana hunting ban. Safari hunting created 15 % of tourism revenues from only 1% of tourist arrivals; only 24.8% of the total safari hunting revenue was externalized – in photographic tourism 73% left the country. The hunting ban jeopardized livelihoods and community projects; rural people and and conservation lost out, and human-wildlife conflict and poaching increased.
