Abstract
The Botswana Bushmen live in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in the centre of Botswana. The area is known to be one of the most rugged, arid landscapes on the face of the planet. In recent years, due to claims from the Botswana government that the Bushmen needed to ‘develop’, extreme efforts have been made to force the Bushmen from the reserve originally allotted to them in the 1960s. Author’s Note I chose to research the situation of the Botswana Bushmen in the CKGR after learning about them when working with the organization Survival International. I since then have become a strong supporter of indigenous groups worldwide. The Bushmen in particular are an incredible example of the endurance of mankind in the most trying of environments. It is my belief that through sustainable development we can not only learn a great deal from those people whose voices otherwise would not be heard, but we can also show future generations the importance of the ethical treatment of all human beings.
