Communities and transfrontier parks in the Southern African Development Community : the case of Limpopo National Park, Mozambique

Auteur :
FERREIRA, S.L.A.

Description :
The merger of three national parks - South Africa's Kruger, Mozambique's Limpopo and Zimbabwe's Gonarezhou - into an 89000 km2 conservation area - the great Limpopo Transfrontier Park - is supposed to boost tourism, protect biodiversity and promote harmony between neighbouring states in southern Africa. It is concluded that not one of the anticipated outcomes will be realised if the position or role of local communities within this area plays a subordinate role. - (AJC)
