Abstract:
|
"Resource conflict occurs when two or more competing uses exist for the same resource. The Tana River District in southeastern Kenya has over the years seen such conflicts which are bound to intensify. But through proper resource planning and management such conflicts can be addressed. The subject of this paper was to identify and examine landuse conflicts between agriculture and wildlife and attempt to resolve these conflicts. Sources of conflicts included water, space (land), and vegetation (as forage). Types of land use in the area included wildlife-based tourism, and agriculture (livestock and crop husbandry). Some recommendations for conflict resolution, proper conservation and management of the resources are outlined. These include the establishment of wildlife corridors, allowing pastoralists access to game reserves, compensation for losses due to wildlife depredation, multiple land use and so on."
