Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Once considered to be voiceless and almost powerless, southern African hunting communities are increasingly becoming powerful and are now demanding win-win benefits from international hunting by removing the middlemen.<\/p>\n

The Southern African hunting communities representatives say the middlemen for international hunting are the local and foreign safari hunting companies that market southern Africa as a must-visit international hunting destination; where the big five are hunted. These hunting companies buy the international wildlife hunting quotas from SADC hunting communities then sell the huntable wildlife to international hunters and also handle their hunts in Africa.<\/p>\n

Despite acknowledging that they receive payment from the safari hunting companies, the SADC hunting communities that own the wildlife think they should be getting paid more than what they are currently receiving. Hence their call to remove the middlemen.<\/p>\n

However, the representatives of the SADC hunting communities know the reality that currently they lack the skills to market their areas as attractive international hunting destinations. They also don\u2019t have skilled professional hunters to handle hunting for the international hunters when they come to Africa.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the hunting communities ironically need the safari hunting companies that they would like to remove as middlemen; to first train them to market their hunts overseas and also to help them train professional hunters who would in the future handle the hunts of international hunters who come to Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe think this is the right time to remove the middleman and let communities market their own natural resources,\u201d said a member of SADC Community Leaders Network (SCLN) and CEO Ngamiland NGOs, Siyoka Simasiku. \u201cCommunities should not be stakeholders but shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Siyoka said that this transition from middlemen to hunting community self-marketing will take time as \u201cthere is need for capacity building.\u201d The outgoing chairperson of SCLN, Maxi Louis, and the Director of Namibia\u2019s National Association of Community-based Organisations (NACSO) said that \u201c70% of rural people rely on natural resources in Africa, including hunting.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said that the challenges of southern African communities that co-exist with wildlife include limited rights and benefits from \u201cour resources and increased vulnerability to poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCommunities living closest to wildlife and the natural resources are generally the poorest,\u201d said Louis. \u201cWe are open to a partnership that looks at win-win. We need a regional monitoring and information system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Chief Timex Maolosi of Botswana\u2019s Samunkuyo Trust said that all the community trusts in Botswana met in Maun recently and recommended the need for capacity building of hunting communities to enable them to market their wildlife to preferred markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommunities should become shareholders or owners of the hunting industry in their localities,\u201d said Chief Maolosi. \u201cThere is a need to do away with middlemen in the hunting industry but it will take time to achieve capacity building.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the Botswana government is working towards introducing a Community Based Natural Resources Management Bill, in order to ensure that local communities \u201cdon\u2019t get a bad deal from hunting contracts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment will look at the agreements to ensure that communities are not getting a bad deal,\u201d said Botswana Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP), Kabelo Senyatso. \u201cWe discovered some of the communities did not get a fair share in some of the 2021 hunting agreements. The DWNP reserves the right to determine whether or not the agreement between the community and the safari operator is fair or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that the government of Botswana is working towards introducing a law that would ensure that communities receive fair benefits from the use of their natural resources, including hunting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely happy when communities receive direct benefits from wildlife,\u201d said Chairman of the Botswana Wildlife Producers Association, Basimane Masire \u2013 a member of former President Masire\u2019s family.\u201d It gives good buy-in and conservation support from the communities that bear the costs of co-existing with wildlife.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Professor Brian Child of the University of Florida has called for the expansion of the hunting industry in the SADC region in order to increase the conservation of land.<\/p>\n

\u201cHunting supports 60-80% of conservation land in the SADC region,\u201d said Professor Child. \u201cThe Southern African communities are looking after wildlife and it\u2019s increasing.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that \u201cwildlife is destroyed\u201d when you take away ownership. \u201cThe world has lost over 80% of wildlife because they don\u2019t allow people to own it,\u201d said Professor Child. \u201cBut we don\u2019t lose livestock the same way because they own it.\u201d<\/p>\n
