Botswana: Country Promotes Regional Accords to Preserve Wildlife

Botswana's successful efforts to preserve its natural resources, notably by working with neighbouring countries, drew praise November 13 at an international conservation symposium held in Washington. "It would be hard to find a country which has been more successful in establishing a transparent, active, professional governance in the last several years than Botswana has been in dealing with their assets and in dealing with their problems," Senate Africa Subcommittee Chairman Lamar Alexander told the "Conservation Is Good Business" symposium.
