Abstract
The man in the middle of the photo is a reformed poacher who has spent over 15 years in jail for his illegal hunting activities. Since deforestation is being reduced and game populations are rising in the Luangwa Valley, he is now able to make more income by raising bees for honey production and by giving tours for wildlife tourists.
