Wildlife Economics : Case Studies from Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, and Zimbabwe
Between 1970 and 1992, the World Bank
assisted financially in about 15 wildlife-related projects
in Sub-Saharan Africa. The lending volume was US$ 368
million or about 1percent of the Bank's totals lending
during the same period. While geographically, these projects
have been concentrated in East Africa, especially Kenya, the
others are located in Somali, Malawi, Botswana, Cote
d'Ivoire, Zimbabwe, Ghana, the Central African
Republic, Burkina Faso, and Mali. The case studies focus on
four major themes: (i) the financial and economic viability
of wildlife; (ii) the significance of wildlife as meat or
'bush meat'; (iii) policy implications; and (iv)
environmental impact. Evidence in this last area, however,
remains qualitative and anecdotal. A critical hypothesis of
this study is that the property rights structure is a key
factor in determining the choice between wildlife and
livestock utilization.
