Abstract
ABSTRACT The paper assesses the local communities’ interest in institutional reform in wildlife conservation in Tanzania. Data were collected from 281 heads of households through questionnaire surveys, interviews, focus group discussions and documentary review and analysed by content, thematic analysis, and SPSS version 21. The study found that the local community was generally excluded from decision-making on the Wildlife Management Area (WMA). The wildlife-related benefits did not reach the household, reducing the community’s interest in supporting wildlife conservation. The local community should be required by law to participate in establishing and managing WMA to ensure full participation in planning, management, and benefit sharing from wildlife resources.
