博茨瓦纳西北部奥卡万戈沼泽边缘的编篮业依赖于棕榈树的自然种群。篮子产业的商业化导致了棕榈树种群结构的变化。在沼泽村庄附近，棕榈叶的平均大小已经减少，资源已经枯竭。用来给编织用的棕榈纤维染色的植物越来越少了。通过使用替代原材料和开发新工艺，自然资源和村庄手工艺者的收入都可以维持。
The basket-weaving industry on the edge of the Okavango Swamps in northwestern Botswana is dependent on natural populations of the palm Hyphaene petersiana. Commercialization of the basket industry has led to changes in the population structure of the palms. The mean size of palm leaves has decreased and the resource has been depleted in the vicinity of swamp villages. Plants used to dye the palm fibres for basketry are becoming scarce. Through use of alternative raw materials and deveopment of new crafts both natural resources and the incomes of the village craftspeople could be sustained.
