The San culture is an influential part of southern Africa. As with many African cultures, modern issues threaten this group's traditions. What are some continued challenges to the San Bushmen's way of life?

Answer:

The San continue to face loss of access to ancestral lands as farms, settlements, conservation areas, and development expand. Displacement and restrictions on hunting and gathering make it difficult to maintain their traditional way of life. Poverty, discrimination, and pressure to enter wage-based economies can also weaken the passing on of San languages, knowledge, and customs to younger generations.
