This book presents an overview of different institutional
arrangements for tourism, biodiversity conservation and rural
poverty reduction in eastern and southern Africa. These approaches
range from conservancies in Namibia, community-based organizations
in Botswana, conservation enterprises in Kenya, private game
reserves in South Africa, to sport hunting in Uganda and
transfrontier conservation areas. The book presents a comparative
analysis of these arrangements and highlights that most
arrangements emerged in the 1990s through either a decentralized or
centralized change trajectory that was sponsored by donors. They
aim to address some of the challenges of the 'fortress' types of
conservation by combining principles of community-based natural
resource management with a neoliberal approach to conservation,
evident in the use of tourism as the main mechanism for accruing
benefits from wildlife. The book illustrates the empirical
relevance of these novel arrangements by presenting their growth in
numbers and discuss how these arrangements differ in their form.
With respect to the conservation and development impacts of these
arrangements, we show that they have secured large amounts of land
for conservation, but also generated governance challenges and
disputes on tourism benefit sharing, affecting the stability of
these arrangements to generate socioeconomic and conservation
benefits.
