BOTSWANA says it will ban hunting by 2014 because of fears that the nation is losing its wildlife.
The nation's Ministry of Environment, Wildlife and Tourism made the announcement, saying the decision comes after President Ian Khama said hunting must be stopped to save the nation's big game animals. The ministry said that, left unchecked, rampant hunting would be a "genuine threat" to the country's wildlife. The ministry said hunts by local communities and under special hunting licenses would still be allowed.
Botswana, is home to the massive Kalahari Desert and national parks. Its wildlife includes elephants, lions, giraffes and other large animals.
