Pheroze, very interesting question. My first 3 years was a trial period for the area, after I showed the benefit of making the area a hunting area, the govt made it into an official coutada. After the 3 years to my shock, they put the area on an open tender, after all the development etc, we did manage to win the tender, 20 year contract, so basically have had the area 7 years. Moz did lose a lot of game, but not all areas were hit as hard as others. In the beginning if we saw 20 sable in 2 weeks it was a lot, now we have plenty of different herds, some herds are close to 200. The game numbers have grown really well every year. The elephant numbers have really climbed. This can be because they feel safer on our area away from the bad poaching. We have got a good relationship with the locals and they give us a lot of support. At present the outside world is our biggest enemy, US F&W and the EU. Not being able to export our elephant to these countries really hurts us financially, as elephant is our main income. I hope over the next ten years, they will see the benefit of elephant hunting.
