Ju/'hoansi farming communities multiply during the 1980s only to face a new threat. The Department of Nature Conservation wants to create a game reserve on Ju/'hoansi territory. People will be forbidden to raise livestock or crops. Instead, Ju/'hoansi will be encouraged to act like Bushmen and hunt for the amusement of tourists. Urgent grass roots organizing ensues as the people seek to control their traditional lands. This is part three of a five-part, six-hour series.
