Botswana's Community-Based Natural Resource Management Program

Botswana's Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) program empowers local communities to conserve and sustainably use natural resources such as wildlife, forests, and water. By involving communities in decision-making and benefiting them through eco-tourism, hunting rights, and resource sharing, the program promotes conservation while improving livelihoods. This approach helps protect biodiversity, maintain ecosystems, and foster economic development, ensuring both environmental sustainability and community well-being.
