THE VANISHING SAN
|
Every time I photograph people, I'm reminded that not only animals are in danger of extinction, but people are as well.
The Government of Botswana decided to relocate all San people living within the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. Harassment of residents, dismantling of infrastructure, and bans on hunting appear to have been used to induce residents to leave. This relocation may have been intended to facilitate diamond mining within the reserve. |
