The BBC's motoring programme Top Gear has been accused of causing damage to a pristine wilderness in Botswana. ?? What a shower of T**sers!

You've given very little information in your post. Here's a link from an actual article :

Conservationists have accused the show, hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, of leaving scars across the Makgadikgadi salt pans by driving vehicles across them.

They have said the tracks caused by the cars could remain for decades.

A BBC spokeswoman said: "We employed several environmental experts who advised us on where we could and couldn't go."

So, they sought all the advice they could possibly get. Left some tyre tracks in a salt plain (Just like the salt plains in the States really), which may, or may not sort themselves out. Environmental disaster?

Yeah ... tossers :rolleyes:
