| dc.description | This report presents a socio‑economic overview of households within the Uibasen Conservancy, focusing on livelihoods, resource use, governance participation, benefit distribution, and community attitudes toward wildlife and conservancy operations. The majority of households are female‑headed due to prolonged male absences, and most rely on livestock keeping, tourism‑related enterprises, natural resource harvesting, and tourism wages for food and cash income. Firewood, candles, and paraffin remain the primary energy sources, while water is mainly obtained from the nearby lodge, boreholes, or backyard taps. Most residents are registered conservancy members and participate in conservancy activities, with high satisfaction levels regarding management, information flow, representation, and decision‑making processes. Benefits—including jobs, skills training, resource access, crafts income, and meat distribution—are valued, though satisfaction varies, especially regarding meat distribution and conservancy assistance. Women participate in conservancy activities but at relatively low levels. Multiple institutions, including private enterprises, government bodies, and NGOs, operate in the area, though support from Conservancy Support Organisations is limited. Overall, households report positive attitudes toward wildlife both prior to and after conservancy establishment. | en_US |
