The Botswana Wildlife Management Association (BWMA) promotes the welfare of the wildlife industry in Botswana and has established a platform for the industry to facilitate contact with the government, its ministries and departments concerned with wildlife. BWMA provides statistics and information on the activities of the wildlife industry to government, local councils, land boards and other interested parties. As well as promoting and safeguarding the interests of the wildlife industry, it works with the Department of Wildlife & National Parks and other governmental organisations and interested entities.
Destination South was founded by Alan Michael Schmidt, who has more than 25 years of professional hunting experience. Tonuga Camp, in the central hunting area, CT1, is in the central district of Botswana, and is one of the largest hunting concessions in the country. The major trophy in this area is elephant. Owing to the remoteness and inaccessibility of the concession, the serious trophy hunter has an excellent choice of big ivory. Other species found in the area include lion, leopard, buffalo, eland, gemsbok, kudu, impala, zebra, duiker, steenbok and giraffe.

The Mokolodi Wildlife Foundation was formed in 1991 to promote wildlife conservation and environmental education for the children of Botswana. The first project of the foundation was the creation of the Mokolodi Nature Reserve. In addition to naturally occurring animal species such as warthog, steenbok, kudu and snakes, several species have been reintroduced, including zebra, giraffe, eland, ostrich, hippo and rhino. The philosophy behind Mokolodi Nature Reserve is that income from tourism is used to subsidise the conservation projects and the environmental education programme.
