E-JUIRNAL Protected areas, wildlife-based community tourism and community livelihoods dynamics: spiraling up and down of community capitals
Participation in wildlife-based community tourism within and around
protected areas is seen as a tool to link biodiversity conservation and
community livelihoods improvement. However, there is a deficiency of
frameworks currently used to understand complex and dynamic
relationships that exist among conservation, tourism and development.
The community capitals framework is adopted to assess these linkages
from a systems-thinking perspective in which community capitals’ stock
and flow, explained by a community’s participation in tourism determines
the direction of change. Results of the Chobe Enclave Conservation Trust
in Botswana indicate that all community capitals are interdependent and
play a dynamic role in shaping the spiraling of community livelihoods.
