| Title |
|
Market arrangements between local communities and the private sector in the north-west Serengeti, United Republic of Tanzania |
| Description |
|
The Serengeti ecosystem forms one of the most important wildlife areas in eastern Africa, both in terms of conservation and tourism. A series of effective community economic incentives for wildlife conservation have resulted from the development of a new range of markets for wildlife products and services, largely driven by private-sector demand and the dependence of commercial tour-operators on community compliance in wildlife conservation.
These include: (a) Revenue-sharing by tourist hunters; (b) Local sourcing of products;
(c) Community wildlife-cropping; (d) Land-leases and joint tourism enterprises. |
