Local agency at the intersection of global conservation discourse and the political economy of wildlife in Tanzania

Abstract

•This paper is a case report examining the effect of economic incentives accruing to a community living near wildlife in Northern Tanzania.•An assumption exists in economic development circles where monetary incentives are thought to lead to good conservation behavior.•This case report disrupts that logic through exposing the political benefits that ecotourism provides to the community, with revenue as a byproduct.•The central lesson is that political and historical contexts mediate economic incentives; these contexts are key to predicting outcomes for conservation initiatives centered around revenue generation.
