Funding For Predator Tolerance

Livestock holdings in Botswana are a mixture of large commercial ranches several hundreds of square kilometers in size and small operators with herds of maybe a dozen cattle or goats. The impact of livestock killing predators is felt most keenly by the smaller operations. If a leopard jumps into a kraal with twelve goats and kills six of them, which is not unusual, then it's a 50% tax on both owners' capital holdings and their income. Nobody else pays a 50% tax to preserve predators. Dr Peter Apps from Botswana Predator Conservation believes that if we want to protect carnivores, the people who live with them need to profit from them, and whoever claims to be interested in wildlife conservation should support the concept.
