本文介绍了纳米比亚保护计划的信息，并强调了纳米比亚的激励为基础的保护政策正在产生的保护和发展的影响，在公共领域，以及如何保护可能会提高纳米比亚的公园系统的可行性。关于Nyae Nyae保护区的案例研究：1）提供关于野生动物和旅游业对纳米比亚最边缘化的人之一-Ju/'hoansi San人生计的贡献的文件; 2）展示保护区仍有待利用的巨大未开发野生动物潜力。最后，本文确定了一些面临的保护方案的挑战，并讨论了政府决策者需要认识到纳米比亚的干旱和半干旱环境的合法土地使用的野生动物和旅游业的长期竞争优势。在这方面，必须解决限制性的兽医条例，因为这些条例使野生动物生产在竞争中处于不利地位，无法与得到高度补贴的商业和自给畜牧业竞争。
This paper presents information on the Namibia Conservancy Programme and highlights the conservation and development impacts that Namibia’s incentive-based conservation policies are producing in communal areas and how conservancies may enhance the viability of Namibia’s park system. A case study on the Nyae Nyae Conservancy is used 1) to provide documentation on the contributions of wildlife and tourism to the livelihoods of one of Namibia’s most marginalized people – the Ju/’hoansi San; and 2) to demonstrate the tremendous untapped wildlife potential that remains to be harnessed by conservancies. Lastly, this paper identifies some of the challenges facing the conservancy programme and discusses the need for government decisionmakers to recognize the longterm competitive advantages of wildlife and tourism as legitimate land uses for Namibia’s arid and semi-arid environment. In this regard, it will be essential to address restrictive veterinary regulations that place wildlife production at a competitive disadvantage to a highly subsidized commercial and subsistence livestock industry.
