Student Presentation (Paige)

Paige presented today on the impacts of human sprawl in wilderness buffer zones, regions that are established in the surrounding areas of national parks and game reserves. Her article focused on the Wildlife Management Areas associated with the Moremi Game Reserve, located in the Okavango Delta of Northern Botswana. An overall increase in population for this region has led to conflicts over resources between those who use this land as a source of livelihood, primarily the local communities and tourism companies.
