“…This demands for solutions such as resettlements, compensations, alternative livelihood strategies or changed management approaches [51]. In order to reduce negative anthropogenic effects on wildlife in the park, indigenous people in Korup National Park were successfully encouraged to leave the park through various measures, such as incentives, the implementation of new conservation policies or resettlements [52,53]. However, experiences from resettling Ikondo Kondo I village, which was formerly situated inside Korup National Park, have shown that successful resettlements are difficult to realize since they require very careful planning and need to meet many prerequisites [54].…”

The Effects of Road Access on Income Generation. Evidence from An Integrated Conservation and Development Project in Cameroon

et al. 2019

Many integrated conservation and development projects use road construction to induce a shift in income activities, since road access can reduce both poverty and environmental degradation. There is, however, little empirical evidence on the effects of road access on income patterns. We contribute to existing literature by analyzing the effects of road access on income activity choice in Korup National Park, Cameroon using a difference-in-difference approach. Road access led to a rise in total household income by 38% due to higher household participation in self-employment and wage labor. We neither found an effect on income from crop farming nor on participation in hunting activities. The effects of road access can be diverse and unforeseeable. Road construction in protected areas should thus be carefully considered and planned and only be implemented when other options are not feasible.

“…The developed nature protection solutions brought about the establishment of various park models, from "hard-park" (parks with strict policies to prevent human encroachment) conservation policies to people-oriented park designs, in order to curb the adverse effects of humans on the environment [79]. However, integrating nature protection and socio-economic development of the area remains difficult [80][81][82][83].…”

The article is divided into two parts. Its first part analyses the functions of environmental education and land sharing performed by national parks in Poland. The second part presents the transformations of both tourist and nature protection functions of 117 municipalities (gminas), territorially linked with 23 national parks in Poland. For this purpose, a statistical analysis was carried out, applying linear ordering methods—synthetic development measures (SDM) were used. Subsequently, a comparative analysis of municipalities in each of the defined areas was carried out, along with an assessment of the correlation between the level of the nature protection function and the tourist function development. The research covers the years 2001–2016. SDM of nature protection function and tourist function in the municipalities linked with national parks indicate stability of the nature protection function as well as dynamic changes in the tourist function. It allows rejecting the research hypothesis that national parks intend to block the tourist function of municipalities. The research findings indicate the need for cooperation between municipalities and national parks not only for the sake of nature protection, but also for the purpose of area economic activation.

“…A growing number of development projects such as large-scale agricultural expansion, mining, infrastructure (roads, hydro energy, etc. ), logging, urbanisation, and the exploitation of oil and gas 2 / Nchanji et al resources have placed more pressure on forests (Tchatchou et al 2015), greatly affecting the livelihoods of those depending on forest resources for their everyday needs (Siewe et al 2017).…”
