It was reported in 1996 that Botswana was forcibly moving thousands of indigenous bushmen out of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, which was set up in 1961 to provide them with a last refuge. The driving force behind the removal of humans from the reserve is the recommendation of an EU-funded aid programme to promote the conservation of natural wildlife habitats, thus encouraging tourism. Similar cases have been reported by Oxfam: in Uganda, when the Ugandan Army forcibly evicted 35,000 people from the Kibale forest region in order to protect conservation values; and in Ethiopia where 7,000 are threatened with eviction so their land can be used for three national parks.
