GABORONE, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) -- The Botswanan government will spend millions of pula to compensate farmers that have lost crops due to wild animals, the Wildlife and Natural Parks Director Kabelo Senyatso said on Monday.

"Currently we have four projects of fixing and maintaining fences to help control the elephants and keep them away from the communities. We have workers currently working on maintaining fences at Makgadikgadi, Tuli backline, Kalahari and Khutse, we do believe farmers along those areas will benefit from this development," said Senyatso.
