| dc.description | This study assesses community knowledge and awareness of the Salambala Conservancy, as well as the effectiveness of the Salambala Management Committee (SMC) in disseminating information to registered conservancy members in surrounding villages. Conducted in September 1997 approximately 2.5 years after the conservancy’s establishment the study reveals that community meetings are the primary communication method used by the SMC. While effective in some areas, this approach is limited in villages where representatives or traditional leaders do not convene meetings or where representatives live outside the communities they serve. As a result, access to conservancy‑related information is uneven. The findings also indicate low awareness and understanding of conservancy and core wildlife area boundaries among community members. Despite these challenges, registration levels are high, reflecting strong community support for the conservancy. Similarly, there is notable approval for joint‑venture initiatives proposed by the SMC. Overall, members express satisfaction with the conservancy, though concerns remain regarding the slow pace of development and other minor issues. Strengthening communication and clarifying resource boundaries are identified as key needs for improving community engagement and conservancy effectiveness. | en_US |
