CBCN - Africa
Africa not only has a rich base of wild resources, but several African countries also have decades-old legal environments that encourage local people to care for and benefit from these resources. Important conservation models have emerged from this context.
The Community Based Conservation Network Africa Program works on the ground with local landholders and partner organizations in:

Emergent or illusory? Community wildlife management in Tanzania
 This study, primarily funded by Sand County Foundation's Bradley Fund for the Environment, found that the devolution of wildlife management to a system of Community Wildlife Management (CWM) in Tanzania is in need of new institutional models. The report examines how CWM needs to be approached as part of a broader social process of building local rights and access to resources through institutional reforms, rather than as a project-based or technical assistance strategy with short time horizons. It also provides suggestions for how practitioners in Tanzania and elsewhere might foster more effective and adaptive CWM approaches in light of these outcomes and experiences.
