  • An African dilemma : pastoralists, Conservationists and tourists - reconciling conflicting issues in Kenya
    2020
    Co-Authors: Kieti Damiannah, Nthiga Rita, Plimo Jonatha, Sambajee Pratima, Ndiuini A, Kiage Ezekiel, Mutinda Pete, Aum Tom
    Abstract:

    Kenya is facing irreconcilable tensions by competing interests from Conservationists, tourism developers and pastoralists. Concerns arising from the well-being of flora and, in particular, fauna by Conservationists; tourists and commercial tourism; and the increasingly restricted use of traditional lands and herding animals by pastoralist indigenous communities, have populated the discourse of land use in Kenya. In this paper, we look into the varying perceptions of each group of stakeholders and seek to analyse the current narrative that gives priority to wildlife protection and the commercial exploitation of wildlife through high-end tourism development to the detriment of the rights and interests of pastoralism. As pastoral land becomes more appropriated, our analysis shows that the antagonistic relationship between conservationism, commercial tourism and pastoralism is likely to deteriorate. We therefore propose a more participatory model of tourism development that will allow pastoralist communities to have a voice in the process

  • the Conservationist s dilemma
    International Economic Review, 1993
    Co-Authors: Gabriel A Lozada
    Abstract:

    It is typically thought that conservation of natural resources is encouraged by low interest rates. However, when capital goods are used to extract the resource, low interest rates may discourage rather than encourage conservation. Using a model of a capacity-constrained extractive industry in competitive equilibrium, I find the relationship between the initial rate of exploitation and the interest rate. If capital is so "important" that for sufficiently high interest rates the industry is nonviable, the graph of initial quantity versus the interest rate is U-shaped; the traditional result holds at small interest rates but not at large ones.
