以社区为基础的保护（CBC）对于促进生物多样性保护和生计发展至关重要。尽管有大量的财政和机构投资，CBC干预措施的绩效好坏参半，在非洲以野生动物为基础的CBC中，缺点尤其明显。CBC的结果通常通过家庭生计收益或通过中央政府等更高行政级别的政策分析来评估。令人惊讶的是，项目评估中往往缺少村庄或地方治理能力。通过一项对照研究，我们评估了坦桑尼亚多个尺度的CBC干预措施。采用贝叶斯多层次的潜在特质模型，我们发现，CBC参与预测更强的村庄治理机构。此外，与控制村相比，CBC村有更多的地方公民组织和小企业，但没有经历更大的精英捕获的公共产品。总之，在没有向家庭提供直接的社区保健福利或在多村社区保健机构的高层取得成功的迹象的情况下，这些研究结果表明，村级治理机构可以以有益的方式适应长期的社区保健干预。
Community‐based conservation (CBC) is essential to promoting biodiversity protection and livelihood development. Despite significant financial and institutional investment, performance of CBC interventions is mixed, with shortcomings especially evident in wildlife‐based CBC in Africa. CBC outcomes are typically evaluated through household livelihood gains, or through policy analysis at higher administrative levels such as the central state. Surprisingly, village or local governance capacity is often missing from project assessment. Through a controlled study, we evaluate CBC interventions at multiple scales in Tanzania. Employing Bayesian multilevel latent trait models, we find that CBC participation predicts stronger village governance institutions. Additionally, compared to control villages, CBC villages have more local civic organizations and small business enterprise, but do not experience greater elite capture of public goods. Together, and in the absence of direct CBC benefits provisioned to households or signs of success at the higher level of multi‐village CBC bodies, these findings point to the possibility that village‐level governance institutions can adapt in beneficial ways to prolonged CBC interventions.
