ABSTRACT

Mozambican law recommends community councils to promote the co-management of natural resources in protected areas. In the Limpopo National Park, the park committee has served as the community council for the last two decades. Based on fieldwork conducted in 2009–2019, this practical note identifies challenges that the committee faces and suggests two pathways to tackle the challenges: the committee members should be selected based on individual capacity; and financial resources must be directed towards developing their capacity. Further research on how to establish these pathways are imperative to enable the committee members to focus on activities for the co-management.

摘要

莫桑比克法律建议社区委员会促进保护区内自然资源的共同管理。在林波波国家公园，公园委员会在过去二十年来一直担任社区委员会。基于 2009-2019 年进行的实地调查，本实用说明确定了委员会面临的挑战，并提出了应对挑战的两种途径：委员会成员应根据个人能力选择；财政资源必须用于发展他们的能力。进一步研究如何建立这些途径对于使委员会成员能够专注于共同管理的活动势在必行。
