1980年代末博茨瓦纳出现了以社区为基础的自然资源管理，这为自然资源管理带来了一种新的模式。该战略标志着野生动物管理从国家控制转向社区控制。人们期望，在社区控制下，当地的生物多样性专门知识，在本文中称为传统生态知识（TEK），发挥重要作用，据说是通过当地机构和传统做法的促进。本文探讨了将TEK纳入的CBNRM项目在KD 1，这是一个控制狩猎区（CHA）在西北部的Kgalagadi北分区，博茨瓦纳，并说明了该项目承认和展示的实用价值TEK在可持续的自然资源管理。它的结论是，TEK系统和机构可以作为可持续自然资源利用和管理的切入点。这可以通过探索当地人民的文化习俗和将有用的方面纳入现代自然资源管理专门知识来实现。(C)2003 Elsevier Ltd.保留所有权利。
The advent of community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) in Botswana in the late 1980s ushered in a new paradigm in natural resource management. The strategy marked a change from state-controlled to community-controlled wildlife management. The expectation is that under community control, local expertise on biodiversity, termed in this paper as traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), plays a significant role that is supposedly facilitated through local institutions and traditional practices. This paper examines the incorporation of TEK in the CBNRM projects in KD 1, which is a controlled-hunting area (CHA) in the north-western part of the Kgalagadi North sub-district, Botswana and illustrates that the projects acknowledge and demonstrate the utility value of TEK in sustainable natural resource management. It concludes that TEK systems and institutions could serve as entry points into sustainable natural resource utilisation and management. This could be achieved through the exploration of cultural practices of the local people and integrating useful aspects into the modern natural resource management expertise. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
