The debate about conservation and human welfare (poverty or development) is no longer new in the literature.
Yet, poverty and conservation challenges persist. This paper seeks to demonstrate how community involvement
in conservation has both empowering and disempowering effects. The paper uses two villages in the Namtumbo
district, one representing those villages that are involved in wildlife protection and the other representing those
villages that are not involved in conservation. The paper addresses two questions: 1) does community participation in
wildlife protection lead to their empowerment? and 2) does empowerment, in turn, lead to community development?
Different methods of data collection were used, including quantitative interviews using questionnaire and the
qualitative techniques (such as group discussions, observations, and secondary analysis of policies and village
documents related to wildlife conservation projects). Findings from these sources drive the main argument of the
paper that the relationship between community participation in conservation and economic empowerment remains
problematic after two decades of community-based conservation interventions. |
