Small-scale fishing: Income, vulnerability and livelihood strategies at Lake Itezhi-Tezhi, Zambia
There is still a need for appropriate livelihood strategies to improve livelihoods of small-scale fishers, despite several roles the African inland fisheries play to fishers’ wellbeing. This study assessed the nexus between small-scale fishing and fishers’ livelihoods at Lake Itezhi-Tezhi, Zambia. Using the mixed-methods approach under a sustainable livelihood framework, findings revealed the fishing income was insufficient to improve their livel…
Agency, inequality, and additionality: Contested assemblages of agricultural carbon finance in western Kenya
Harnessing literatures on the political ecologies of agrarian change and carbon offsetting, this article presents a case study of a high-profile agricultural carbon finance initiative: the Kenya Agricultural Carbon Project. Despite project claims regarding 'triple win' outcomes for livelihoods, sustainability, and climate mitigation, the annual mean carbon revenue reported in our sample is 0.33 US dollars per household and year. Contextualizing t…
Rhetoric and reality in protected area governance: Institutional change under different conservation discourses in Mount Elgon National Park, Uganda
Old wine, new bottles? Investigating the differential adoption of ‘climate-smart’ agricultural practices in western Kenya
Developing Iceland’s protected areas: Taking stock and looking ahead
With about 20 per cent of Iceland's land area protected under formal mechanisms, this paper outlines the current position and discusses some factors in the transition from traditional to current approaches. It reviews elements of the development of Iceland's protected areas over recent decades, specifically largescale, landscape connectivity approaches, innovative governance structures to engage local stakeholders, and new mechanisms of conflict …
The Political Economy of Conservation at Mount Elgon, Uganda: Between Local Deprivation, Regional Sustainability, and Global Public Goods
This paper presents a case study from Mount Elgon National Park, Uganda, examining and deepening an understanding of direct incomes and costs of conservation for local people close to protected areas. In the early 1990s, collaborative arrangements were introduced to Mount Elgon National Park to improve people-park relations and enhance rural livelihoods after a period of violent evictions and severe resource access restrictions. In areas with suc…

Transboundary Biodiversity Management: Institutions, Local Stakeholders, and Protected Areas: A Case Study From Mt. Elgon, Uganda and Kenya
Transboundary protected area governance is on the rise in Africa. There is still a scarcity of well-documented success stories on how to design and deliver institutionally consistent transboundary outcomes concerning biodiversity and sustainable livelihoods. This article focuses on institutional challenges of such governance at the local stakeholder level on Mt. Elgon in Uganda and Kenya. A stakeholder analysis was conducted in border communities…
