Conflicts over land-use exist all over the world. In semi-arid
parts of Africa, for example, pastoralists have by no means the
same interests as settled farmers, lodge/safari company operators
and tourists. Moreover, these conflicts of interest are likely to
intensify if rural poverty and dependency on land
increases.Building on ten years working with pastoral communities,
IT carried out action research in Kenya with two communities for
whom wildlife management issues are a matter of daily life. The
research found very little trade off for these communities in terms
of enhanced opportunities derived from local wildlife management
systems. Many complex cultural and social issues are raised by a
shift to cultivation and other new livelihood strategies for
traditionally pastoralist communities, none of which currently
promote beneficial interactions with wildlife conservation.This
Working Paper presents detailed analysis of the two case studies
and then addresses the question of whether the problematic
situations which emerge can be addressed by improved management of
interactions between the stakeholders, or whether in fact the
dilemmas faced are part of a deeper structural conflict of
interests which the more optimistic win-win literature on
communities and wildlife management in Africa has obscured.
