Review of Milking the Rhino (2009) by Denise H — 24 Aug 2010

How can Africa preserve tribal culture AND wildlife species?...by "milking" the tourism industry. Encouraging tribes to set up "wildlife" centers (think bed and breakfast in the Serengeti) and using the dollars received for that to maintain the center, preserve the big game and create a livelihood for the tribe. It's a difficult balancing act...what to do when the big "game" kills one of your cows? How do you keep your culture from being polluted by outside influences....endure the pressure and conflict from other "centers"?

Good explanation of the dilemmas facing Africa in the 21st century...
