Botswana's Bushmen return to court
As Geographical went to press, the Gana and Gwi Bushmen and Bakgalagadi people of Botswana's Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) were returning to court to appeal against the Botswanan government's eviction policy. The case was originally thrown out of court on a technicality in April 2002.
"It could be of great significance, not only for the Gana and Gwi Bushmen and Bakgalagadi of the CKGR, but for the land rights of hunter-gatherer peoples across Africa," said Miriam Ross of Survival.
