“…This can be attributed to the crises experienced in September of 2001 in Plateau State. This agrees with the findings of Ijeomah (2003), Edet and Ijeomah (2005) and Ijeomah (2007).The year 2002 had the highest revenue in JWLP as it was the peak of democracy, after about 19 years of military regime in Nigeria; hence there were much celebrations and festivities. Moreover, more attractive wildlife species were procured which pulled most tourists in Jos including some that would have visited JNMZ.…”

Inadequacy of information on marketable tourism products per ecotourism destination has led to erronous packaging of unviable products in many tourism sites in Nigeria. Avenues of revenue generation in ecotourism destinations of Plateau State, Nigeria was studied using information obtained through structured questionnaires, field survey and administrative records. A set of structured questionnaires were randomly administered to 50% of tourism officials in Rayfield Resort (RR), Naraguta Tourist Village (NTV), Jos Wildlife Park (JWLP), Jos National Museum and Zoo (JNMZ), Assop Falls (AF), and Pandam Wildlife Park (PWLP). In all, 268 officials were sampled. Data collected were subjected to descriptive analysis in form of percentages, graphs and frequency of counts. All respondents (100%) identified poverty as a factor militating against revenue generation in all tourism sites. Crises / fear affects revenue generation in JNMZ (100%) and NTV (100%); being tourism sites in

“…Ecotourism, a wildlife-based aspect of environmental tourism, focuses on protected natural zones that are untouched by human activities, with the aim of enjoying the fauna and flora resources of the area (Ceballos-Lascurain, 1992;Ijeomah, Alarape, & Ogogo, 2007). The search for unique, authentic and unspoiled attractions by ecotourists is necessitated by the fact that everyday life is almost saturated with artifice (MacCannell, 1976).…”

“…But even inside the national parks created purposely for protection of species, game populations still appear to be under threat. Ijeomah and Emelue (2009) reported that many herds of elephant at Kainji Lake national park have emigrate to neighouring countries, and populations of some species in many Nigerian parks have continuously decreased while some endangered species have vanished from the park environment. This is an indication that every game species in Nigeria including those abundant in national parks are under threat especially as owners of parklands are agitating to reclaim their lands in the face of human population explosion and poverty (Ijeomah and Emelue, 2009).…”

Protected areas are the cornerstones of wildlife conservation efforts; hence it’s monitoring and protection is fundamental to halting biodiversity declines. This work then assess the effectiveness of wildlife monitoring efforts such as anti-poaching patrol in Kainji Lake National Park, Nigeria to evaluate the level of success of protective operations for the improvement of anti-poaching programmes for sustainable wildlife management. Secondary data were sourced from the official records of anti-poaching activities including arrests and prosecutions were obtained from the management information unit of the park. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis using table, figure and graph. The results show that arrest and prosecution made for grazing of livestock and poaching were the major offences committed in the ten (10) years appraised. Highest offenders (206) were arrest and prosecuted for grazing of livestock in 2018. The year 2016 had the lowest arrested offenders in Kainji Lake National Park in the last decade (123 offenders) while 2018 had the highest with 287 offenders. The total number of arrest and prosecution made within the ten year period was 1,849. The highest revenue generated in Park in a year was ₦9,010,108.22 in 2018 while the lowest revenue generated in the last ten years was ₦6,466,223.60 in 2016. The total revenue generated in the study area from 2010 to 2019 was ₦74, 355,351.24. There appears to be relationship between arrests of offenders and revenue generation across the years (direct proportion). Evaluation of records of arrests and prosecution between 2010 and 2019 show that high number of offenders arrested and prosecuted for grazing of livestock and poaching for the period evaluated could heighten conflict in the study area. Therefore, local participation of communities surrounding the park is also important to the effectiveness of protective practices.
