Rural-to-urban Migration of Maasai Youth in Tanzania: Causes, Extent and Impacts
The literature on migration documents two primary reasons for youth migration from Maasai communities of Tanzania to urban areas, both related to livelihood diversification: (a) education, as a means to improve the potential for wage employment; and (b) employment itself, often in situations where high levels of educational qualifications are not required. We question the extent to which these drivers capture the full range of youth migration exp…
Differential impacts of dam construction on livelihoods in Ghana
Debates about the benefits and costs of hydro-electric dams have provoked this study, which examines how the Bui Dam in Ghana impacts on 13 nearby communities. Impacts were assessed using the capital assets framework, embracing seven types of capital assets: social, natural, human, physical, financial, cultural, and political. Data was collected through a quantitative questionnaire administered to 339 households, and qualitative interviews with 2…

Using long-term integrated research programs to improve whale shark tourism at Oslob, Philippines
Priorities for protected area research
A hundred research priorities of critical importance to protected area management were identified by a targeted survey of conservation professionals; half researchers and half practitioners. Respondents were selected to represent a range of disciplines, every continent except Antarctica and roughly equal numbers of men and women. The results analysed thematically and grouped as potential research topics as by both practitioners and researchers. P…

A guilty pleasure: Tourist perspectives on the ethics of feeding whale sharks in Oslob, Philippines
Concerns and benefits of park-adjacent communities in Northern Ghana: The case of Mole National Park
Protected areas are increasingly becoming islands of habitat surrounded by seas of cultivation and development. Communities experience both costs and benefits associated with nearby PAs, and perception of these influence support for PAs and subsequent conservation related behaviors. This paper explores the concerns and benefits of 10 adjacent communities surrounding Mole National Park in Ghana using key informants, focus groups and household surv…

Understanding inter-community performance assessments in community-based resource management at Avu Lagoon, Ghana
Conservation in Context: Variability in Desired and Perceived Outcomes of Community Based Natural Resources Governance in Ghana
Community resource management areas (CREMAs) in Ghana are protected areas managed under a community-based governance regime. This study examined five CREMAs to understand how desired outcomes and perceived performance of these CREMAs vary at a regional level, and the factors that might account for this variability. Importance-performance analysis showed that for all 29 outcomes examined, importance exceeded performance, indicating a need to impro…
Why local people do not support conservation: Community perceptions of marine protected area livelihood impacts, governance and management in Thailand
Conservation success is often predicated on local support for conservation which is strongly influenced by perceptions of the impacts that are experienced by local communities and opinions of management and governance. Marine protected areas (MPAs) are effective conservation and fisheries management tools that can also have a broad array of positive and negative social, economic, cultural, and political impacts on local communities. Drawing on re…
Changing paradigms in marine and coastal conservation: A case study of clam gardens in the Southern Gulf Islands, Canada
Marine conservation is a global challenge and marine protected areas (MPAs) are one means of addressing this challenge. Progress in MPA designation is slow, partially due to objections to MPA establishment by local stakeholders and Indigenous peoples. This article suggests that a values‐based paradigm to conservation that emphasizes active management and further engagement of First Nations, as rights‐holders, should be given more emphasis. The re…

But are tourists satisfied? Importance-performance analysis of the whale shark tourism industry on Isla Holbox, Mexico
An exploration of Hul’qumi’num Coast Salish peoples’ attitudes towards the establishment of no‐take zones within marine protected areas in the Salish Sea, Canada
The Canadian Government has committed to establishing a national network of Marine Protected Areas. Progress in the Salish Sea (Strait of Georgia) of British Columbia has been slow. Opposition by First Nations is a factor as these protected areas have the potential to impact on Aboriginal rights. This case study with the Hul’qumi’num First Nations examines their approaches to marine conservation and their perspectives on “no‐take zones” as a comp…
Protected areas in Canada: Decade of change
The last decade has witnessed more changes in protected area systems in Canada than any other. The area set aside has more than doubled, and almost 7 percent of Canada's ecosystems are now protected compared with 3 percent in 1989. Several high‐profile reports have indicated a decline in ecological integrity of protected area systems. Major changes in legislation and policy have followed with a new National Parks Act, National Marine Conservation…
Programme and Project Cycle Management (PPCM): Lessons from South and North
This paper documents the lessons drawn from several years of practical work with a range of Programme and Project Cycle Management (PPCM) processes and tools. The need for PPCM training, and not simply Logical Framework training, is emphasised, as is the importance of using an experiential training methodology. Institutional ownership of both PPCM tools and approaches are considered to be vital for success. Since so many donors now use PPCM tools…

Linking Ecotourism and Biodiversity Conservation: A Case Study of Doi Inthanon National Park, Thailand
Ecotourism, or tourism that promotes conservation, does not occur in isolation, but as part of an interdependent system. Based on a case study at Doi Inthanon National Park, Thailand, this study outlines a conceptual framework for such a system, placing biodiversity conservation in the context of other major tourism components, including tourists, ecotourism infrastructure, protected areas and local people. In an interactive way, each component a…

Ecotourism versus tourism in a Thai national park
National parks and hill tribes in northern Thailand: A case study of Doi inthanon
Erosion of biodiversity is of global concern. Habitat destruction is the main cause. Many governments have established national park systems to try to protect habitat. National parks have traditionally excluded human settlements and extractive uses, often creating problems for local communities. This has resulted in support for human occupancy of parks, particularly by indigenous peoples. However, indigenous peoples can also have a significant im…
Tourism and Sustainable Development in Northern Thailand
Tourist trekking is expanding among the hill tribes of northern Thailand. These tribes are chronically poor, contribute to deforestation and soil erosion, and have been a focal point of past insurgency. Development schemes have been initiated, but none has been totally successful in solving these problems. Trekking annually now attracts more than 100,000 persons to the region and accounts for the influx of approximately U.S.$2,000,000. This benef…

Canada's National Parks: A Model of Administrative Penetration
National parks can no longer be considered as pristine ecosystems protected by impenetrable boundaries. It is now realised that many forces outside national park boundaries create significant changes within those boundaries. To date, most attention has focussed upon penetration by biophysical factors. This paper addresses another aspect, external influence over decision making in the parks. It suggests that three main groups ‐ entrepreneurs, envi…

Public Perception of a Technological Hazard: A Case Study of the use of 2,4‐d to Control Eurasian Water Milfoil in the Okanagan Valley
Use of the herbicide 2,4‐d to control Eurasian milfoil in the Okanagan Valley has proved very controversial. Public perceptions toward the control programme are described. Over half the respondents were in favour of the use of 2,4‐d, although chemical control was the least preferred alternative, following harvesting, biological, and dredging techniques. A strong positive correlation exists between those supporting the use of 2,4‐d and those indic…
