| The impact of wildlife management policies on communities and conservation in game management areas in Zambia - message to policy makers | |
| 2008 Full Book | |
Game management areas are wildlife estates in communally owned lands in which some wild animals are protected and used primarily for regulated hunting (consumptive tourism) and photographic safaris (non-consumptive tourism), The 35 GMAs in Zambia cover 22% of the country's territory equivalent to 170.000 km2. GMAs act as buffer zones for national parks. In the early 1980s, as heavy poaching decimated wildlife populations, new models of conservation with integrated community development emerged. The Zambia Wildlife Act number 12 of 1998 was enacted to enhance the concept of community participation in GMAs. |
