Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the extent of community participation in natural resource management in Mumbwa Game Management Area of Zambia. Quantitative and qualitative data were gathered through interviews and surveys in the case-study area. The data were analysed with descriptive statistics. The study found that local community participation in wildlife resource management was passive in the study area. This was because the Department of National Parks and Wildlife was not actively engaging the local community in decision-making process of wildlife resource management in the area. The study recommends that the is active participation of the community in managing wildlife resources in the study area would ensure the sustainability of natural resources and hence promote an effective Community Based Natural Resource programme in Mumbwa Game Management area.
