	Basarwa Relocation - Introduction
		The Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR), located in the eastern part of the Ghanzi District, was established as a game reserve under the Game Proclamation through the High Commissioner’s Notice on February 14, 1961.
		The conclusion was that, the development of permanent settlements in the Game Reserve coupled with the new hunting and herding activities of the residents were inconsistent with wildlife conservation in the CKGR.
		The decision to terminate services inside the CKGR was taken after it became apparent that with the small number of people remaining inside the Game Reserve, 17 people from two related families, the continued provision of services was uneconomical and unsustainable.
