Estimating the economic multipliers for wildlife-based tourism in Zambia
We derived 2015 wildlife-based tourism multipliers for the rural area of Zambia where input-output tables (I-OT) are unavailable. To estimate multipliers in a data-poor environment, the national direct requirements coefficients were first derived from the country’s 2010 I-OT. These direct requirements coefficients were re-scaled to rural area region by multiplication with the rural area production percentage shares, while the total requirements c…
Developing a restoration narrative: A pathway towards system-wide healing and a restorative culture
Benefits and costs analysis of soil erosion control using rock pack structures: The case of Mutale Local Municipality, Limpopo Province, South Africa
Interdisciplinary and multi-institutional higher learning: Reflecting on a South African case study investigating complex and dynamic environmental challenges
Benefits of restoring ecosystem services in urban areas
Cities are a key nexus of the relationship between people and nature and are huge centers of demand for ecosystem services and also generate extremely large environmental impacts. Current projections of rapid expansion of urban areas present fundamental challenges and also opportunities to design more livable, healthy and resilient cities (e.g. adaptation to climate change effects). We present the results of an analysis of benefits of ecosystem s…
Local institutions, actors, and natural resource governance in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and surrounds, South Africa
Establishing the links between economic development and the restoration of natural capital
Economics of climate change adaptation at the local scale under conditions of uncertainty and resource constraints: The case of Durban, South Africa
This paper describes the design and application of a benefit-cost model to the city of Durban’s (South Africa) climate change adaptation options. The approach addresses the inability to compile an accurate damage-cost function for economic prioritizations at the local level. It proposes that uncertainty over climate impacts and the efficacy of adaptation responses, in conjunction with the lack of economic data, high levels of economic informality…
Restoring and managing natural capital towards fostering economic development: Evidence from the Drakensberg, South Africa
The working for water programme: Evolution of a payments for ecosystem services mechanism that addresses both poverty and ecosystem service delivery in South Africa
Integrated water and economic modelling of the impacts of water market instruments on the South African economy
Assessment of the performance and sustainability of mining sub-soil assets for economic development in South Africa
