ABSTRACT

This study focuses on wildlife management in the Loliondo Game Controlled Area (LGCA) in the northern region of Tanzania. There are ongoing concerns surrounding wildlife management in the LGCA including an acute lack of community involvement in the wildlife management planning and decision-making process, poorly defined property rights, and the unequitable distribution of the economic benefits generated from the ecotourism and trophy hunting schemes being implemented. Employing multi-criteria analysis techniques, this study explores and evaluates the alternative wildlife management options for the wildlife tourism site at issue. The joint venture wildlife management option has been identified as the most preferable. Under a joint venture wildlife management scheme, trophy hunting and ecotourism is allowed in the area designated for conservation, while livestock grazing, agriculture, and village settlements are permitted in the remaining area of the LGCA. Under this scheme, a community-based organization (CBO) is granted user rights to wildlife and other natural resources in the conservation area. A joint venture programme is established between commercial investors and a CBO. The study argues that joint venture wildlife management should be introduced to ensure well-defined property rights, implement efficient wildlife conservation, and the equitable share of economic benefits across the various stakeholders.

摘要

本研究重点关注坦桑尼亚北部地区洛利昂多禁猎区 (LGCA) 的野生动物管理。围绕 LGCA 的野生动物管理存在持续的担忧，包括野生动物管理规划和决策过程中严重缺乏社区参与、产权界定不明确，以及生态旅游和战利品狩猎计划所产生的经济利益分配不公平。实施的。本研究采用多标准分析技术，探索和评估相关野生动物旅游地点的替代野生动物管理方案。合资野生动物管理方案被认为是最可取的。根据合资野生动物管理计划，在指定的保护区域内允许进行战利品狩猎和生态旅游，LGCA 的其余区域允许放牧、农业和村庄定居点。根据该计划，社区组织 (CBO) 被授予保护区内野生动物和其他自然资源的使用权。商业投资者和国会预算办公室之间建立合资计划。该研究认为，应引入合资野生动物管理，以确保明确的产权、实施有效的野生动物保护以及各利益相关者公平分享经济利益。商业投资者和国会预算办公室之间建立合资计划。该研究认为，应引入合资野生动物管理，以确保明确的产权、实施有效的野生动物保护以及各利益相关者公平分享经济利益。商业投资者和国会预算办公室之间建立合资计划。该研究认为，应引入合资野生动物管理，以确保明确的产权、实施有效的野生动物保护以及各利益相关者公平分享经济利益。
