Lord Beaumont of Whitley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What steps they are taking following recent suggestions (for example, in Ecological Economics Vol. 18, No. 3) that the international community should be assisting Botswana to find sustainable means of maintaining the elephant population.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

We are assisting the Government of Botswana to conserve and manage their wildlife resources through a programme to support and strengthen the management and operation of the Department of Wildlife and National Parks.
