Set sustainable hunting quotas, e.g. through an adaptive
quota setting system (DSS 2002 pp60).
Sell safari hunting concessions to maximum advantage
by:
Public auction: Minimises corruption and prices
are higher than those obtained through a tender system.
Tenders: Unless the system for awarding tenders
is transparent, corruption is frequently encountered.
Where conservancies or commercial farms abut onto
State Protected Areas there may be a need to set quotas
for the entire range.
There is a transboundary aspect to this same problem.
In several instances it is clear that hunting trophies
are coming from a population shared between Botswana
and Namibia(e.g. Salambala Conservancy in Namibia and
the Chobe Enclave community in Botswana).
Monitoring:
The annual record of revenues and incomes earned from
safari hunting in State Protected Areas, conservancies
and commercial farms will provide the information needed
to assess the overall progress towards achieving the
economic objective. It will be necessary to separate
out from the data the portion of the income which is
attributable to roan, sable and tsessebe.

All ecological objectives must be met;
Coordination and collaboration both at the national
and transboundary levels;
National Institutions must be developed between the
State and its neighbours which will enableequitable
sharing of the overall proceeds when the hunting is
taking place from a common population.
Workable transboundary institutions must be developed,
which, in the first instance, result in cooperation
on quota setting and, ultimately, lead to income sharing.
