Botswana is planning to increase hunting quotas of elephants and other species to the maximum allowable for the benefit of communities during the 2024 hunting season, President Mokgweetsi Masisi has said.
Masisi made the remarks Monday when delivering a televised Botswana’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) in Gaborone, the capital of Botswana. SONA is the yearly speech by the southern African country’s leader before its parliament, giving his view on the state of the nation and his legislative goals for the year.
“This is part of Botswana’s efforts to reduce human-wildlife conflicts and increase community benefits from sustainable wildlife utilization,” said Masisi.
