Abstract

"The Okavango Delta is known for its tourist potential and its untouched nature. Interestingly, Common Pool Resources (CPRs) in this area are not under pressure in the same way as the other cases presented. Although there are plenty of resources, local bushmen and pastoral groups are waiting for their gains under the new regime of the Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM). They depend mostly on money from the State stemming from exports of diamonds."
