Full textProtected areas, considered today as a major tool for wildlife conservation, are facing an increasing competition for space and resources. This calls for a better integration of socio-economic dynamics at regional scale in the management of protected areas. This thesis aims at understanding the ecological, socioeconomic and cultural linkages conditioning the integration of the protected areas into the anthropological system to which they belong. An appropriate conceptual framework for thinking these relationships is the socio-ecological system, which complements the framework of natural ecosystems by including humans as a functional element and a source of transformation. In order for conservation to be a sustainable objective, the analytical framework used is the resilience of socio-ecological systems, including protected areas. Illustrated by extensive field works, this study focuses on the socio-ecological system constituted by Hwange National Park (Zimbabwe) and its periphery, an unfenced area hosting one of the largest elephant density over the world. To understand the key challenges for integration, we studied the socio-ecological linkages between the protected area and the peripheral rural communities. This interdisciplinary research, where the elephant is used as a thread-line, necessitated to combine sociological and ecological methodologies. The contribution of protected areas to local well-being is dependent on multiple socio-cultural factors that influence the services (and dis-services) perceived as provided by these areas. The distance to protected areas regulates the intensity of fluxes (access to natural resources, wildlife damages). Further, social cohesion promotes the mitigation of dis-services by decreasing the costs associated with the coexistence between humans and wildlife. The economy of the studied community is based on subsistence, constrained by annual rainfall and intimately dependent on natural resources. The values associated with this type of economy, and society, certainly contributed to the resilience of this system regarding the political and economic crisis of the early 2000's. This thesis underlines the necessity to understand the endogenous socio-ecological processes that condition the coexistence between protected areas and their peripheral anthroposystems. Protecting wildlife through protected areas relies also on the protection of the values that promote coexistence

Full textBeing at the top of the food chain, apex predators have the potential to influence the whole community structure through food webs, even within their own guild. In Africa, lions (Panthera leo) and spotted hyaenas (Crocuta crocuta, hyaenas hereafter) are the largest and most numerous predators, with hyaenas often thought to be subordinate to the larger lion Never the less, our understanding of their interactions is limited, even more in wooded ecosystems. This work focuses on identifying the mechanisms allowing for hyaenas and lions to coexist, such as resource and habitat partitioning. The main hypothesis is that hyaenas should avoid lions both spatially and temporally. A literature review shows that despite the high potential for exploitative and interference competition (high range and diet overlaps), hyaenas are present at nearly all sites occupied by lions and their densities are positively correlated. I collected data on hyaena and lion ecology, through direct observations and GPS collars, during 2.5 years of fieldwork in Hwange National Park (HNP), Zimbabwe. HNP is characteristic of a semi-arid dystrophic wooded savanna dominated by elephants (Loxodonta africana). In HNP, hyaena ecology is largely influenced by the location of artificial waterholes, elephant carcasses and lions. Hyaenas select for habitats where prey are abundant and locations close to artificial waterholes, as do lions. Hyaenas only spatially avoid lions in extreme conditions of vulnerability and risk. Elephant carcasses are a major source of food for hyaenas and their used increased during a period of increased intraguild competition with lions, which lead to switch in hyaena foraging strategy from active hunting to scavenging. The presence of large carcasses is probably promoting coexistence between the two large carnivores. Encounters with lions at carcasses are common and can occur during several consecutives nights with the two predators staying in the vicinity of each other. However, when not related to food, encounters are very short with both predators often moving away after being in contact. In stark contrast with the classical hypothesis, hyaenas in HNP do not show a general pattern of lion avoidance. Interactions between these two species are complex and hyaenas appear to respond to lion presence is reactive rather than predictive and very dynamic. Even though lions are their main competitors, in some circumstances hyaenas stay in their vicinity, as they can also be a source of food through scavenging and kleptoparatism. These results bring some light on the mechanisms of interaction and coexistence between large carnivores as well as the impact on management decisions on their ecology that could prove useful for planning their conservation

Full textNational parks aim at protecting natural resources, including fauna and flora. However, some of these resources are depleting, particularly due to animal populations that converge regularly in certain places. In that context, the objective of this thesis is to propose an approach to identify interactions between movement practices of herbivore populations and land cover. We apply this approach to elephants, zebras and buffaloes of the Hwange National Park (Zimbabwe). The proposed approach combines notions from ecology, geography and geomatics. First, we identify places where spatial practices of populations are recurrent. These places are called places of convergence composed of high-density paths and stops. Diverse data sources are analyzed: animal counts and GPS tracks. The last is used to construct trajectories of animals based on concepts from Time Geography. This construction enables us to estimate the potential pressure applied by animals on land cover. Second, places where land cover has changed are extracted from remote sensing data. Last, we study the links between places of converge of populations and places of land cover changes. The results point out that data sources are complementary. They underline different types of links between animal populations and land cover, according to the species considered, the time periods and the studied areas
