Vital, absolutely vital. I have a son who actually is at the only one of my three boys who’s followed broadly, you know, my, my area of interest. And he actually is working currently with a number of countries in Africa where the tourism aspect has not been developed that, well, parts of Uganda, for example, which Uganda is sort of the, the less well known of the countries that people tend to go to for tourism. But in most areas in Africa, tourism now is the major source of income, particularly for rural communities. The only thing is that the challenge is actually making sure that enough of the resources that are generated by tourism are actually going into those, into the local communities, which then makes it worthwhile for those local communities to be protecting, you know, what they need to protect in order to maintain the, the tourism industry. There a lot of that, there is some feeling that in, in many of the more remote areas that well conducted game hunting does contribute, but it’s, it’s an industry that is very open to corruption, you know, because of the high large figures involved, large monetary figures involved often find their way into pockets where they shouldn’t. But there is still some evidence, good evidence that in areas which are not, don’t have good road contacts, don’t have good good communications, that commercial hunting properly conducted can also be a good generator. But it’s a small industry money-wise compared to the much larger tourist industry.
