Chapman's Zebra hunting in Botswana

Chapman’s Zebra hunting in Botswana is carefully managed to ensure sustainability. Plains Zebra hunting is highly regulated. Botswana's commitment to conservation means that hunting quotas are strictly controlled to prevent over-harvesting and to maintain healthy wildlife populations. Three subspecies of Plains Zebra originally occurred in Botswana. However, the only remaining subspecies is the Chapman’s Zebra found along the northern and eastern border regions of the country. Revenue generated from Zebra hunting contributes to both conservation initiatives and the economic well-being of local communities in Botswana. Funds from hunting licenses help support wildlife monitoring programs and anti-poaching efforts. Moreover, local communities benefit from job opportunities within the hunting industry and the distribution of meat and other resources, making hunting a vital part of Botswana’s approach to wildlife conservation and rural development. Chapman’s Zebra (Plains Zebra) is listed as a species of least concern by the IUCN and only a Botswana hunting licence is required to shoot a Zebra.
