A child of the Basarwa tribe, nomadic hunter-gatherers who have survived for over 20,000 years in the stark desert plains of central Botswana, rests on a fence in the Kaudwane settlement outside the Kalahari Game Reserve Saturday, November 19, 2005. Government officials insist the Basarwas' evolving lifestyle is incompatible with wildlife conservation. They want the last holdouts, estimated to number less than 30, to be resettled where they can be provided modern services such as schools and clinics. (KEYSTONE/AP Photo/Jerome Delay)
