Land reform and conservation areas in South Africa : towards a mutually beneficial approach
    Wynberg, Rachel | Kepe, Thembela

An increasing number of land reform projects are taking place in conservation areas. Many of these are concerned with the restitution of land rights to people dispossessed of their land, and others are more generally concerned with effecting tenure reform and redistributing land to the disadvantaged and the poor. The purpose of this document is to facilitate information exchange between the land and conservation sectors with respect to land reform and conservation areas and to determine a common framework within which they can work. The resulting information will provide the contact for a set of recommendations for a framework for policy systems and procedures for land reform and conservation areas.

CBNRM and its contribution to economic development in southern Africa : proceedings of exchange visit workshop for directors
   

The exchange visit was designed to enable directors of various government departments from SADC states to examine the Mahenye community's CAMPFIRE project in the southeast lowveld in Zimbabwe, as a working model of CBNRM principles. Specifically, the objective was to contribute to the development of an enbaling environment that will facilitate CBNRM being accepted as a key element in economic development strategies. This was achieved during the workshop by creating a common understanding of processes, issues, principles and constraints that affect CBNRM in southern Africa, and developing a set of guidelines and recommendations concerning the development of natural resource-related policies in the region.

Parks for life : transboundary protected areas in Europe

This study analyses the status of protected areas across various European State boundaries, lists successes and shortcomings, and gives valuable advise as to how co-operation between protected areas can be improved and enhanced
