  • Insult me again please, I am starting to like it. You are good at that, but not at reading: I said that they must go together, not that development shouldn´t happen. In answer to your question: Every country needs conservation. There is your list. Anything else means develop today, but beware of tomorrow, when your land and resources are gone. In case you missed it before: Botswana's tourism income is the second of the country's economy, only behind diamond exports.

  • Cool video with good information and voice over work.

  • mmm elephants

  • Elephants belong in conservation reserves... NOT the wild! These western scientest need to realize that the land in Africa is needed for farming and industrialization, Elephants would only clash with growing human populations. I dont see Bears being conserved in the west, when they interact with humans they are killed.

  • @JUDALATION lol the conservation reserves are technically IN THE WILD. what the hell are you talking about. sure Africa needs land for farm and industrialization, but I'm guessing that a lot of their country's politics and government need to be fixed so people have the basic necessities they need which would prevent them from cultivating more land in the first place

  • @tokee1234567 N o Im sorry but you are wrong. The Reserves are man made fenced areas that control the ins and outs of these dangerous Animals. Hundreds of People are killed by elephants every year. A herd also can wipe out a farmers crops in hours, and there is nothing they can do. There have been prides of lions that prey on humans and the entire pride must be hunted down. Dangerous Animals must be kept in fenced areas to protect human populations.

  • @JUDALATION "Dangerous Animals must be kept in fenced..."

    Humans are the MOST dangerous. If humans stopped breeding & CONSUMING like bacteria & viruses --- less than 1B in early 1800s; 7B today, a growth that CAN'T be sustained by any organism, in any environment) --- majestic animals like the lions, elephants, tigers, whales, gorillas, etc. too, would STILL have some space.

    Their populations, for millions of years, are checked by natural variables; we are not. We need to CONTROL ourselves.

  • @HenryDavidT Thats not the case in Africa. The large populations are in Asia. NOT AFRICA. Africa is the least developed, so they have to have alot of kids because so many will die. The Africans are being told to limit their development so that other developed nactions will be better off. What ever the reason, South Africa must look to do whats in Their best intrest, Just like every one else.

  • @JUDALATION I'm talking how HUMANITY has devastated the world in the last 200+ years alone.

    On the Asian & African issues, yes & no. Both regions are blessed with incredible animal populations; & Asia does have too many people.

    But Europe & N. America, too, WERE blessed with majestic animals. They killed off MOST of them. Further, these regions, less than 15% of the world's population, CONSUME over 80% of the world's total energy out-put.

    The Earth can't sustain such human activities.

  • @JUDALATION You are under the impression that earth is here to serve humans at any cost. This is unsustainable for the earth and for humans. If land in Africa was only used for farming and industry, what makes our planet so special and diverse would be lost. Humans population is growing too much, and this leaves fewer wild areas, causing species to become extinct or drastically decline in numbers. I would like to hear your thoughts on shooting bears if you were born a bear instead of a human.

  • @JUDALATION Humans are by far the most dangerous animal of all, causing millions of wildlife deaths, even just for fun (US west expansion wiping out buffalo or Africa with antelopes and other animals are examples). Not to mention that we have broken the ecological balance of the planet. Since we are therefore so dangerous, shouldn´t we also have limits to our expansion across the land on earth?

  • @kalaharithorn NO... dont put all the sins on the west on my people! Its westerners who came here and started to kill the lions... My country is very undeveloped! you cannot tell me that I cannot develope my land because the west over developed. The LAST countries that should talk about protecting animals is the ones in the west! The countries in Africa must develope their land in order to survive! if the west wants... they can knock down the buildings in their counrties for forest!

  • @JUDALATION What do you mean by "my people"? I live in Botswana. And I never said that africans decided to kill lions as you have said. I was obviously referring to the hunts carried out by westerners when colonising Africa. I also didn`t tell you that your country (don´t know which one it is, but you live in the USA) cannot develop. Farming is not the only way of development. Read Wangari Maathai's excellent "The Challenge for Africa" to find out how to develop respecting the environment.

  • @kalaharithorn I dont live in the USA and You dont speak for all the people in your country! The Problem with Wangari is the western thinking that really wants Countries in Africa to stay undeveloped so they can buy their resources cheap. The primary goal of the west is to "protect" the Animals, NOT progress. That is why the West is buying polititions to prevent development. No country in Africa is so developed as to worry about the enviroment! thats a future debate you idiot!

  • @JUDALATION First of all, don't insult me. Who do you think you are? Second, your profile says that you live in the USA. Go figure. Third, the same way you ask me not to speak for all the people in my country, you do the same thing. I wasn´t speaking for anybody, but expressing what my opinion is. Fourth, you clearly have not read the book that I quoted, your sentence proofs that you have no clue what she wrote. Have a good day. I am done speaking to you.

  • @kalaharithorn I have read the Book... It is merely a restatementy of western hopes for the continent. There are over 50 countries in Africa and any book that claims to solve them ia s joke... The problem with most countries in Africa is a lack of health, developed infrastructure, Compitent government, and intelictual property. Africa needs to develop land for food, housing and buisnesses, countries being mostly wilderness wont cut it in the modern world. This is Our future like it or not!

  • @JUDALATION Either you are not saying the truth about reading that book or you don´t understanding what it is saying. The fact that you say that it reflects western thinking is just nonsense. And please stop speaking about the west; we are talking about Africa here and you keep referring to the same old song: blaming underdevelopment to the west. Africa is rich in natural resources and if many countries are poor this is because of corrupt governments. That is WHY in fact.......

  • why I don't believe that you have read the book: it's about different cases of african countries, not about Africa as a unique country, as you said. And go develop a country like Bostwana (a semi desert) with your agriculture. Good luck growing crops and developing with that. In fact, Botswana's second form of income comes from TOURISM (yes, people who travel to admire its wildlife), only behind diamond exports. And, this is also MY future since I live here. More than it is yours, living in US.

  • @kalaharithorn HUH? the WEST put UP ALL THE GOVERNMENTS IN AFRICA TODAY! Almost Every single leader has been propped up by the west! The west also colonialized the Entire continent and the governments are carbon copies of the corrupt countries that conolized them. You dont know shit about Africa and are full of it! You need to look at the Military buget of these corrupt governments... Im done talking to a dumbass!

  • @JUDALATION Thank you for you insults once again. Your mind is quite small but your mouth is quite big. Conservation and development can and must go together, no matter what you say. Of course I don't know anything about Africa, I just happen to live in Africa. And of course you know more about Africa than a Nobel Price winner like Maathai, sorry for forgetting that. Go back to your shooting/war video games - this is beyond your field.

  • @kalaharithorn Conservation? What country needs conservation? Give me a name or shut up! Telling a country in Africa that it needs to conserve wildlife is like telling a skinny person to loose weight. Once again tell me what countries need to "conserve" wildlife and I will give you a list of countries that need to develope their land... Untill you have that list STFU!

  • @JUDALATION What? Of course conservation is a must for every country. We are not in the time when the west did mistakes when developing. That was long ago and this is 2011. Africa still has amazing wildlife and ecosystems that can be protected. Of course this does not mean that Africa cannot develop. It must develop but respecting this and using it in its favor, as kalaharithorn pointed out, for tourism. We are in the 21st century, not in the 1750. Things can be done better now.
