In acknowledgement that the largely (para)militarized approach to anti-poaching has its limitations, alternative approaches to conservation law enforcement are being sought. One alternative focuses on including people from local communities in anti-poaching, what we call inclusive anti-poaching. Using a case study of a community scout programme from southern Mozambique, located adjacent South Africa’s Kruger National Park, we examine the potential of a community scout initiative to move towards a more inclusive and sustainable approach to anti-poaching and conservation. While highlighting its challenges and potential drawbacks, we argue that including local people into conservation law enforcement efforts can help address poaching and problematic aspects of current anti-poaching measures. However, to be a genuine and sustainable alternative, community ranger programmes must be part of a broader shift towards developing local wildlife economies that benefits local communities as opposed to supporting pre-existing anti-poaching interventions.

包容性反偷猎？探索基于社区的反偷猎的潜力和挑战

在承认反偷猎的很大程度上（准）军事化方法有其局限性的同时，正在寻求保护性执法的替代方法。一种替代方法是将来自本地社区的人纳入反偷猎活动，我们称之为包容性反偷猎活动。通过对位于南非克鲁格国家公园附近的莫桑比克南部社区侦察员计划的案例研究，我们研究了社区侦察员倡议朝着更具包容性和可持续性的反偷猎和养护方向发展的潜力。在强调其挑战和潜在弊端的同时，我们认为让当地人参与环境保护执法工作可以帮助解决当前反盗猎措施中的盗猎和问题。但是，要成为真正的，可持续的替代品，
