Community conservancy (CBNRM model)

Assembled from 31 blocks · 3 evidence · 33 related

1. Story
2. A governance model in which a defined community holds legal rights over wildlife and tourism revenue on communal land, in exchange for managing that land for conservation. Namibia's 1996 Nature Conservation Amendment Act is the reference implementation: by 2023 NACSO reported 86 registered communal conservancies covering roughly 166,184 km2 and involving about 244,587 people. Kenya's conservancies developed on different legal foundations, largely as leases from group-ranch members and individual landholders around parks such as Maasai Mara and Amboseli. The model's claim is that protection must pay the people who bear its costs; its recurring criticisms are elite capture, dependence on volatile tourism income, and the fact that costs (crop loss, livestock loss, injury) fall on households while benefits accrue to committees.

28. Evidence
29. As of 2023 Namibia had 86 registered communal conservancies covering about 166,184 km2 and involving approximately 244,587 people, under rights created by the 1996 Nature Conservation Amendment Act.
30. Kenya banned sport hunting nationwide in 1977, orienting its wildlife economy toward photographic tourism; over one hundred registered community, group and private conservancies now operate across 28 counties as buffer and dispersal land around parks and reserves.
31. Hunting and photographic tourism income to Namibian communal conservancies are driven by different factors, with photographic income concentrating in scenic, accessible, wildlife-dense conservancies and hunting income reaching a broader set of areas.
