Natural Resource Use and Land Use Conflicts: the Case of the Okavango Delta, Botswana Joseph Elizeri Mbaiwa

The book analyses the use of natural resources and associated land use conflicts in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. Fishing, wildlife conservation, tourism, crop farming, livestock farming, and veld product collection are some of the uses of natural resources in the Okavango Delta. Between resource users, there is resource conflict over these resources. This is caused by the lack of an integrated natural resource use policy. The Okavango Delta Management Plan recently adopted may solve the problem.
