Co-existing with wildlife in Namibia's conservancies: A case study on the relationship between human-wildlife conflict and attitudes of local communities and the influence of Community-based Natural Resource Management on this relationship
Publication Year:
2017
Abstract:
One of the greatest threats to African nature conservation are conflicts between humans and wildlife. Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) occurs when people and wildlife are competing for (natural) resources and/or living space. The attitudes of local people towards wildlife is critical for communal nature conservation (Mufune, 2015; Perfecto and Vandermeer, 2008; NACSO, 2016; Thakadu, 2005). HWC can deteriorate this attitude, as wildlife can have a negative influence on people’s livelihoods.
