There is no hunting in the Serengeti just north of Zimbabwe and consequently it's the only place in Africa you can see a full wilderbeest migration. Game farms have fences and are basically zoos that let you shoot the animals. They are not a form of conservation.
- Untitled 16y ago> Zimbabwe and consequently it's the only place in Africa you can see a full wilderbeest migration. The biggest problem is space (for wildebeest migration for example). You need large places - in many countries it is not possible. Some private game farms can get quite big (easily over 20,000 hectares). And yeah, it may be small when compared to large parks but it still fulfills quite a few functions. One example is ensuring genetic diversity - more space for animals, more genetic diversity. Another is breeding programmes - a good example is breeding of buffalo that is free of Bovine TB (Bovine TB is dangerous for humans, spreads to domestic cattle and threaten buffalo populations.
