Then we, the Bushmen, were scattered as we are now. Living apart.\u201d</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">In 2002 the Khomani San settled an historic land claim.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Now, after sixty years in exile, Feke, Kees and Katrine, are going home.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">SOUNDBITE:</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cNow we are coming home, we dance for joy as we walk.\u201d</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">SOUNDUP:</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cPolice station! This is Witdraai. My father had this land.\u201d</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">The sisters\u2019 return heralds the start of a new conservation movement \u2013 one that recognizes the rights of displaced people to have a say in how Africa\u2019s parks are run.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Huge conservation zones are in the works for southern Africa.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Six new mega parks known as \u2018Peace Parks\u2019 will cross national borders.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Already open, the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park has merged the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park with a neighboring park in Botswana.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">At the same time, people like Feke and her sisters can finally go home.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Although their community still faces daunting challenges.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">They will share their traditional knowledge with the next generation\u2026</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">With the hope that they can help pull the San way of life back from the verge of extinction</p>",
