  • A Baseline Analysis of Poaching in Chiquibul National Park
    A BASELINE ANALYSIS OF POACHING IN CHIQUIBUL NATIONAL PARK BY KATHERINE GROFF A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Fisheries and Wildlife ABSTRACT A BASELINE ANALYSIS OF POACHING IN CHIQUIBUL NATIONAL PARK BY KATHERINE GROFF Illegal hunting of wildlife, also known as poaching, in Chiquibul National Park (CNP) may be contributing to decreasing wildlife populations. Management strategies are limited due to a lack of information on the extent of poaching and motivations of poachers. The objectives of this research are to assess the extent of poaching, to address Guatemalan border community residents’ understanding of wildlife in CNP and what animal species are targeted by hunters, and to investigate factors affecting poaching in CNP and Guatemalan border residents’ perceptions about poaching in CNP. These objectives were addressed by (1) synthesizing information found in CNP Ranger field notebooks and reports, (2) interviewing Guatemalan border community residents, and (3) interviewing authorities in Guatemala and Belize. Guatemalan border community residents perceived a lower level of poaching in the CNP than CNP rangers, but both thought that poaching has decreased over the years. CNP rangers considered poaching to be a danger to wildlife in the area, and they thought that wildlife numbers have suffered due to poaching. This research demonstrated little support for the hypothesis that legal regulations and the enforcement of regulations are factors that contribute to whether respondents view other community members as contributing to poaching. However, the subsistence needs of hunters and their families is an important factor affecting residents’ decision to poach.

    NEGOTIATING INFLUENCE: THE EXPERIENCE OE THREE LOCAL NCOS IN MARINE RESERVE CO­ MANAGEMENT IN SOUTHERN BELIZE by Jocelyn Rae Finch B. A. George Washington University 2002 Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science The University of Montana May 2006 Approved by: Chairperson: Dean, Graduate School: Date: Finch, Jocelyn Rae M.S. May 2006 Forestry NEGOTIATING INFLUENCE: THE EXPERIENCE OE THREE LOCAL NCOS IN MARINE RESERVE CO-MANAGEMENT IN SOUTHERN BELIZE Chairperson: Dr. Steve Siebert Abstract Co- management has become an important tool in the management of Belize’s natural resources, including the world’s second largest barrier reef. There are many systems for co management.- Delegated co management,- where local NGOs serve as the decision making authority and community representative, is the most popular form for marine reserves in Belize. The use of co ­ management offers a way to engage a diverse range of stakeholders in the decision making process. However, the success of marine reserve co management- is affected by a range of local, national and intemational factors. Through personal observations as a Peace Corps Volunteer working in southem Belize, interviews with key individuals involved in marine co management- and review of related literature, I explore how political and economic issues at the local, national and intemational level have influenced marine reserve co -management. Three Belizean non - govemmental organizations have signed co management- agreements with the Department of Fisheries for the management of marine reserves in southem Belize. My research indicates that there are a number of factors which influence co- management in this situation.
