Abstract

In this article, we investigate how the distribution of community participation impacts biodiversity conservation in national parks. This study analyzes factors that influence the distribution of community participation in biodiversity conservation. We hypothesize that employment in tourism increases the likelihood of community participation in biodiversity conservation. Additionally, we hypothesize that financial benefits derived by local people uniquely influence their likelihood of engaging in conservation activities. Furthermore, we hypothesize that infrastructure development affects household likelihood to engage in biodiversity conservation. Data were collected from households using questionnaires. Using logistic regression analysis, we find support for our hypotheses. The results suggest that local community participation in biodiversity conservation is significant. This study contributes to the growing empirical evidence on the effects of local community participation on biodiversity conservation in national parks and its implications for park managers and policymakers. Our study makes significant contributions to the existing literature and has practical implications for park management and policy formulation.

Abstract

This paper assesses the development and benefits derived by rural communities in the study area surrounding a game reserve. Questionnaires were administered to residents of fourteen selected communities within the game reserve and to the staff of the park. Additionally, focus group discussions were conducted with ten residents from each of the fourteen rural communities. A total of 720 questionnaires were distributed to residents to evaluate the development and benefits received from the establishment of the game reserve, while 250 questionnaires were distributed to the park staff to determine the impact of NGO activities on the communities. Interviews were also conducted with key stakeholders, including ward-heads, village-heads, youths, and women leaders. The findings reveal that the primary developments and benefits received by the game reserve rural communities include the establishment of primary schools, clinics, health centers, construction of roads and culverts, drilling of boreholes and wells, and access to loans for income generation. However, the relationship between farmers and pastoralists is strained, particularly during the dry season when livestock damage crops due to scarce forage. It is recommended that the working relationships between the communities and the game reserve be improved to achieve the overall objectives of conservation programs in Nigeria.

Abstract

Tourist activities in host environments often create land use problems, such as infrastructure development, and damage to ecosystems and habitats. These disturbances can lead to the disruption of wildlife species, affecting their normal behavior, increasing mortality, and reducing reproductive success. Despite these challenges, the direct benefits of tourism development to the local community are substantial. The study found that 76.06% of locals engaged in merchandise sales, 77.66% gained employment through park development, and 52.6% participated in tourism-related activities. Additionally, the indirect benefits of tourism development to the local community include increased security, improved wildlife conservation, enhanced infrastructure development, employment opportunities, and increased wildlife knowledge, with an average significance ranging from 26% to 45%. In conclusion, tourism development and biodiversity conservation contribute significantly to development, knowledge, employment, and awareness within the local community and the country at large.
