Wildlife Conservation Policies Questions
Community-based conservation plays a crucial role in wildlife conservation by involving local communities in the management and protection of natural resources and wildlife habitats. This approach recognizes the importance of local knowledge, traditions, and practices in sustainable conservation efforts. By actively engaging communities, it promotes their ownership and responsibility for the protection of wildlife, leading to increased cooperation and support for conservation initiatives. Community-based conservation also helps address the socio-economic needs of local communities, providing them with alternative livelihood options that are compatible with wildlife conservation. Overall, this approach fosters a sense of stewardship and empowers communities to actively participate in the preservation of wildlife and their habitats.
