Original: Payment scheme in Botswana pays communities to coexist with wildlife
Botswana has introduced a payment scheme that compensates local communities for coexisting with wildlife, aiming to offset the costs of living alongside elephants, lions and other animals. Reported by Mongabay, the initiative is being discussed as a model for conservation that turns wildlife from a burden into a source of income for rural residents.
