Abstract
The Central Kalahari Game Reserve was established by the British Protectorate Government in 1961 to protect the indigenous hunter-gatherer communities from Ghanzi Farms and the wildlife they depended on. Since its establishment, there have been natural resource use conflicts between the state and the Basarwa (San) communities, culminating in their relocation from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve between 1997 and 2002, respectively. The chapter uses postcolonial theory and draws on archival and secondary data to explore these natural resource conflicts Findings indicate that human rights groups, anthropologists, the Basarwa and the state were divided on the relocation of Basarwa and the use of the reserve. The chapter calls for the need for a system approach and holistic viewpoint to resolving the conflicts in the reserve.
