“…For example, language as an influence on perceptions of bird traits was significantly associated with Xhosa and other African language-speaking respondents. Contrasts between perceptions of birds according to racial and linguistic characteristics probably relate to forced segregation during apartheid, where black and coloured South Africans were relocated to rural areas (Butler 2003, Musavengane andLeonard 2019). In a South African context, identification with a specific race and social construction through a specific language are likely to mediate an individual's interaction with their environment and contribute to their ability to access ecosystem services (Kittinger et al 2012, Hicks and Cinner 2014, Musavengane and Leonard 2019.…”

“…Differential access to ecosystem services has been highlighted as a major gap in ecosystem service research, particularly in areas where systemic inequalities, exclusion, and segregation may result in conflict and violence (Lapointe et al 2019). Examining heterogeneity in perceptions of ecosystem services is particularly important in post-colonial countries because colonization typically led to unequal access to ecosystem services, mirroring broader social and economic inequalities (Musavengane and Leonard 2019). Sustained unequal access to ecosystem services risks reinforcing existing social and economic inequalities (Daw et al 2011, Sikor 2013.…”

“…Participation has been identified as one of the crucial conditions for co-managing communal natural resources in many regions of the world, including sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and it is the basis on which Community-based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) schemes have been anchored (Hill et al, 2007; Hove et al, 2013; Oteng-Ababio et al, 2013; Musavengane and Leonard, 2019). Thus, the development of CBNRM initiatives were borne out of the need to embrace and adopt a development paradigm that shifted focus from top-down to bottom-up systems of resource management involving the incorporation of locally conceived ideas and approaches in decision-making processes (Cundill et al, 2013; Musavengane and Simatele, 2016a).…”

“…Top-down management approaches continue to dominate and are the main mode of natural resource governance across many countries in SSA (Cameroon, Tchad, Niger, Ivory Coast, Central Africa Republic, Gabon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar (Child and Wojcik, 2013; Tantoh and Simatele, 2017)). As such, the poor rural people, especially women and children, continue to be excluded in participating in the development and decision-making process of issues that have both direct and indirect implications on them (Cheru, 2002; Musavengane and Leonard, 2019).…”
