The Selous is the largest game reserve in Africa, it covers an area about 50,000sq km, it is three times larger than Serengeti, more than twice the size of South Africa’s Kruger National park, and roughly 50 percent bigger than either Belgium or Swaziland. It was founded to protect the Elephant and wildlife habitats such as Miombo woodland. You can find: lion, hippo, buffalo, African hunting dog , crocodiles and many other species of animal in Selous. There are over 400 species of birds that have been recoded, including: herons, eagles king-fishers, other different waterfowl. and numerous birds of the prey. In 1859 Burton and Speke went to the part of Tanzania that is now known as the Selous. They noted that the area lacked human settlement; this is explained mostly because of local abundance of Tsetse flies (which carry livestock diseases, especially sleepingsickness – Trypanosomiasis) and the limited permanent water in Rufiji River.

Under the German colonial government in 1905, the area is gazetted and it was divided into four reserves, but in 1922 the British colonial government fused the four area into single reserve and named it after Frederick Selous. There was different human displacement which occurred through events such as Maji maji resistance in 1905 caused people to leave the area of the reserve. After independence of Tanganyika in1961 and the formation of united the Republic of Tanzania in1964 the government gave a high precedence to the improvement and enlargement of the area and its security. The headquarters of the reserve are at Matambwe.

In 1962 the area was opened for hunting, and it was divided into 47 hunting blocks but nowadays 43 blocks are taken by hunting companies and the remaining four are used for photographic tourism. Therefore much of Reserve’s income is received from hunting while the remainder comes from photographic visitors. In 1973 safari hunting was restricted in Tanzania but this restriction was lifted in 1982 with hunting number of animals based on ecological monitoring. Due to derivation of high annual income from the reserve the infrastructure and vehicle support were developed.

In January 2008 a couple of vintage 1985 Nike Air Jordan basketball shoes sold online for $4500. These original Air Jordans were in mint condition, with tags attached, still in the box, and hadn’t been worn. Amazing? Not really, considering the Air Jordan shoe is just as favored today as it’s ever been.

A robust Start
Back in 1985, folk were actually stole at gunpoint for their Air Jordans. Before the signature shoe’s launch, Nike signed Michael Jordan to a then uncommon 2.5 million buck endorsement deal. The shoe’s bold black and red styling clashed against the NBA’s then ordinary color range of team colours on white and was banned by officers. Jordan continued to wear the shoe on court and got fined $5000 per game. Nike smilingly picked up that tab and has been cashing in on the shoes acceptance ever since .

Is this the end?
The Jordan brand, with it’s’Jumpman’ emblem of a silhouetted Jordan, has been spun to it’s own division of Nike. Some current NBA players are being signed on to the Jordan brand rather than to their own signature lines as is routine with other sellers. Jordan himself is now part-owner of the Charlotte Bobcats and Nike won’t comment on the details of their current contract with the legend.

With the Air Jordan line now at the landmark version XXIII ( twenty-three ) and still preferred as ever with fans and followers, neither Nike nor Jordan will confirm or deny rumors that the line may end with version XXIII ( 23 ). As lucrative as the line has been for Nike and Jordan, I would not bet on it ending any time soon. This is business, in fact , and who kills a prospering brand? Either way, the shoe will live on even after Nike and Jordan have cashed their checks and moved on as collectors continue to buy and sell them in the thriving resale market.
