Abstract:
This note examines the effects of climate variability on natural–resources management in East Africa. The bimodal rainfall regime in much of East Africa brings rainy seasons from March to May and October to December with greater interannual variability from October to December. We discuss the impacts of rainfall extremes in 1961 and 1997 and explore three examples of natural–resources management in the context of rainfall variability: inland fisheries in East and southern Africa; fluctuations in the level of Lake Victoria; and lake–shore communities around Lake Kyoga in Uganda.

<p class="1Body">Decentralized governance of natural resources is considered one of the key strategies for promoting sustainable management of natural resources at local level. Effective decentralized natural resource management requires strong local natural resource institutions. Therefore, strengthening local institutions governing the management of natural resources is one of the core principles of decentralization reforms in Francophone West Africa countries. This study assessed the existing local institutions (rules, norms and or local conventions) governing the management of natura

SUMMARYThis paper reviews the concept and practice of community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) as it has evolved in southern Africa, with a particular focus on Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and, to a lesser extent, Zambia. It recognizes that, like democracy, CBNRM is both an imperfect process and a conceptual goal. The governance of economic processes, property rights and local political organization lie at the heart of CBNRM. The first challenge is to replace fiscal centralization, fees and bureaucracy (and the subsidization of alternative land uses) that have historically undervalue

Abstract:
Community based natural resource management (CBNRM) programs presently proliferate across the Global South. In Southern Africa, CBNRM overwhelmingly focuses on wildlife conservation in areas adjacent to national parks and game reserves. The objects of these development activities are remote communities that exhibit the highest levels of poverty in the region, the consequences of which are sometimes resource degradation. CBNRM seeks to empower and enrich the lives of these communities through the active co-management of their natural resource base. Almost without exception, however, CBNRM proje

Abstract:
Goats play a crucial role in improved livelihoods and food security in Africa. Indigenous and locally developed types exhibit a wide range of phenotypic diversity, but are commonly well adapted to the harsh environment in which they need to survive and produce. They have various functions in communities in developing countries, from providing food security to being a liquid form of cash and playing a role in ceremonial occasions. The Southern African goat population exceeds 35 million animals, most of which are kept in small-scale traditional production systems in communal areas. These traditional production systems are characterised by informal, lowly-skilled labour, small numbers of animals and limited resources. Most goats are part of mixed crop-livestock systems, where different livestock species and crop farming compliment one another. The productivity and offtake from these animals are relatively low. Some goats form part of agropastoral production systems, with marginally higher management and resource inputs. Both of these systems are dependent on a high degree of variability where the keepers/farmers can exploit various resources as and when necessary. Goats possess a range of adaptive mechanisms that enable them to deal with harsh and challenging environments, making them the ideal species for use in these production systems. This chapter aims to provide background information on the current smallholder management practices of goat keepers in Southern Africa.

Abstract:
Many of the most expensive and important ecosystem management initiatives under way today are in “zones of conflict” between increasing human populations, resource utilization, and demands for environmental services. The four cases in this book—the San Francisco Bay-Delta, the Everglades, the Columbia River Basin, and the Green Heart of the western Netherlands—are no exception. Each combines the need for large-scale ecosystem restoration with the widespread provision of reliable ecosystem services. As seen in chapter 4, case-by-case management is the regime most suited for such contentious issues in zones of conflict. It is no small irony, therefore, that these ecosystem management initiatives are often presented as showcases for adaptive management (e.g., Gunderson et al. 1995; Johnson et al. 1999). This showcasing is understandable when we realize that here the paradox is at its sharpest. Consequently, the initiatives are unique in the considerable amount of resources made available to adaptive management or ecosystem management, precisely because the ecosystems are in zones on conflict. Much of the funds come not from natural resource or regulatory agencies, but from the organizations that produce and deliver services from these ecosystems, such as water-supply or power-generation companies. In southern Florida, the Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) and the South Florida Water Management District (SFMWD) estimate the costs of their proposed ecosystem restoration plan to be $7.8 billion; in the Bay- Delta, the CALFED Program expects to spend about $10 billion during this implementation having already spent more than $300 million on ecosystem restoration in recent years; and in the Columbia River Basin, the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) alone provides some $427 million per year for fish and wildlife measures. As a senior BPA planner remarked, “We are the largest fish and wildlife agency in the world.” Contrast these millions and billions to the funding problems often reported by “purer” forms of adaptive management for ecosystems towards the left of the gradient in figure 4.1. In short, although important services are derived from these ecosystems, the services do not override ecosystem-functions, thus raising the resource demands of ecosystem management.
