This study examines views on economic benefits, local participation in wildlife management and conservation ethic among 267 residents of three chiefdoms in Mambwe district, Eastern Zambia. Results show that 68% of the residents who live in the Lupande Game Management Area are not in any way involved in community wildlife management. For those involved, the main reason advanced for participating was economic benefit (79%). Only a small minority of 17% of the residents participated due to motivations to conserve wildlife. Human-wildlife conflicts induced by wild animal crop raiding, property destruction, and loss of human life, and perceived low or non-existent economic benefits seemingly precluded the development of a conservation ethic among residents. The local chiefs asserted wildlife ownership, lamented low wildlife benefits and justified its illegal uptake. Proponents of community conservation projects could encourage pro conservation attitudes among residents by addressing human-wildlife conflicts and raising awareness on intrinsic values of wildlife.

游戏管理区的经济效益、当地参与和保护伦理：来自赞比亚曼布韦的证据

本研究调查了赞比亚东部曼布韦地区三个酋长领地 267 名居民对经济效益、当地参与野生动物管理和保护伦理的看法。结果显示，居住在卢潘德野生动物管理区的居民中有 68% 没有以任何方式参与社区野生动物管理。对于参与者来说，参与的主要原因是经济利益（79%）。出于保护野生动物的动机，只有 17% 的居民参与了其中的一小部分。由野生动物作物掠夺、财产破坏和生命损失引起的人与野生动物冲突，以及被认为的低或不存在的经济利益似乎排除了居民保护伦理的发展。当地酋长声称拥有野生动物所有权，感叹野生动物福利低，并为其非法吸收辩护。社区保护项目的支持者可以通过解决人类与野生动物的冲突和提高对野生动物内在价值的认识来鼓励居民的保护态度。
