Impact of Volcanoes National Park conservation on local food security
this study employed mixed methods, including a survey of 400 households, 21 key informants, and 10 focus groups conducted in January-March 2019, to evaluate the contribution of Volcanoes National Park (VNP) conservation to local food security in Rwanda.Data was collected from communities within 0-5 km and 5-10 km park buffers, facilitating distance-based comparisons.Food security status was assessed using the consolidated approach to Reporting in…
Community‐based conservation and chimpanzee research in Gishwati forest, Rwanda
As great ape populations around the world continue to decline, largely due to anthropogenic activities, conservation programs aimed at supporting these efforts have had mixed success. Here, we evaluate our community‐based conservation program in Gishwati forest, Rwanda, aimed at helping to restore biodiversity and ecosystem services using chimpanzees as a flagship species. We examine the effectiveness of this program on reducing one of the ongoin…
Geographic factors predict wild food and nonfood NTFP collection by households across four African countries

To address this, we examined the role of geographic and household level variables in determining whether a household would report…
