Summary:
Putting land management in the
hands of local communities helps the wildlife within, according to new
research. A new study demonstrates the positive ecological impacts of a
community-based wildlife conservation area in Tanzania.
The research is summarized in a
paper that appears online [date] in the Journal of Wildlife Management.
"Community-based natural
resource management has become one of the dominant paradigms of natural
resource conservation worldwide," said Derek E. Lee, the author of the
paper, associate research professor at Penn State, and principal scientist at
