Quotas: Set sustainable hunting quotas, e.g.
through an adaptive
quota setting system. Where conservancies or commercial
farms abut onto State Protected Areas there may be a
need to set quotas for the entire range.This is particularly
relevant to species such as lechwe whose dispersal tends
to be along rivers.
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).
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.
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
the portion of the income which is attributable to reedbuck,
waterbuck, lechwe and puku.

All ecological objectives must be met;
A co-management institution must be established;
Workable transboundary institutions must be developed
for cooperation on quota setting and, ultimately, lead
to income sharing.
