“…The possible reason could be due to the fact that primary education in Tanzania is compulsory. This is supported by [29,30] who argue that primary school education in Tanzania is nationally compulsory, and children are expected to attend school from age 7 to 13. Education affects many aspects of the lives, including their attitude and involvement in conserving wildlife resources living freely within their communal lands.…”

The study was tailored to assess the approaches and constraints for community participation in wildlife conservation in the Rungwa Game Reserve particularly in the Rungwa and Mwamagembe villages in the Manyoni District. Specifically, the study focused on the approaches used for community participation and constraints facing communities that participate in wildlife conservation. A sample size of 98 respondents was involved in the study. Data were collected using questionnaire surveys, key informant interviews, field observations, focus group discussions and document reviews. Data were analyzed with Statistical Product Service Solution (IBM-SPSS20). The results were produced in the form of tables, mean/averages, frequencies, plates/photographs, and figures. The communities' participation observations in wildlife conservation revealed that publicity and community based conservation were the main approaches used in the studied area. Local community argued that the Rungwa Game Reserves inadequately provided conservation education

AbstractLocal community participation in wildlife conservation and management is known to have existed for many years. However, the socio-economic activities regarding community participation remain questionable. Incorporating the views of the local community in the process of decision-making and providing alternative livelihood solutions are important steps towards sustainable conservation. The main aim of this study was to investigate the effects of community participation in sustainable wildlife management in Rungwa Game Reserve. A survey was conducted of the households in Rungwa and Mwamagembe villages with a sample size of 98 respondents. The study used a cross-sectional research design. Data were collected from different respondents at a single point in time. The main research methods used for data collection included: questionnaire surveys, key informant interviews, field observations, focus group discussions and a review of documents. Descriptive data were summarised and presented in frequency tables and charts. Content analysis was also used to determine relationships between the variables measured. The findings revealed both positive and negative effects of wildlife conservation and management. The results revealed that local communities provided confidential information pertaining to illegal activities. The findings further indicated that there was a failure of the game reserve authorities to allow meaningful local participation and equitable sharing of the benefits, which could be attributed to hatred, resentment, and illegal harvesting of natural resources from the game reserve, resulting in poor wildlife conservation. This study recommends the encouragement and a strengthening of the involvement of local communities in wildlife conservation for the sustainable utilisation of natural resources.
