Preface Review Chobe Management Plan

Abstract

The Chobe National Park, located in the northern part of Botswana and within the Chobe District covering an area of about 10 590km2 is arguably one of the country‟s premier conservation areas. The park was created with the aim of protecting wildlife from over hunting and to cater for the visitors. Uncontrolled hunting by settler communities from Northern and Southern Rhodesia threatened the viability of a large number of mammals and unique species such as the Chobe bushbuck and puku thereby leading to the establishment of the park.
