Wildlife Conservation in Zambia and the Landsafe Customary Commons
Wildlife conservation in Zambia and the Landsafe Customary Commons by I. P. A. Manning Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Wildlife Management) The Centre for Wildlife Management Faculty of Natural & Agricultural Sciences University of Pretoria Pretoria Supervisor: Professor Wouter van Hoven February 2011 © University of Pretoria 3 Declaration: I, Ian Patrick Alexander Manning, declare that the dissertation which I hereby submit for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Wildlife Management) at the University of Pretoria, is my own work and has not previously been submitted by me for a degree at this or any other tertiary institution. SIGNATURE: _______________________________ DATE: _____________________________________ 5 From the standpoint of a higher socio-economic formation, the private property of particular individuals in the earth will appear just as absurd as the private property of one man in other men. Even an entire society, a nation, or all simultaneously existing societies taken together, are not owners of the earth, they are simply its possessors, its beneficiaries, and have to bequeath it in an improved state to succeeding generations, as boni patres familias (good heads of the household). Karl Marx – Capital If Africa is to take her rightful place among the continents, we shall have to proceed on different lines and evolve a policy which will not force her institutions into an alien European mould, but which will preserve her unity with her own past, conserve what is precious in her past, and build her future progress and civilisation on specifically African foundations.

In Africa and the Developingworld
Meeting the Challenges of Climate Change toTourism in Africa and theDevelopingWorld LUSAKA, ZAMBIA • 15-20 MAY, 2011 HOSTED BY Ministry of Tourism, Environment and Natural Resources, Zambia ORGANIZED BY International Institute for Peace through Tourism A MESSAGE FROM H.E. RUPIAH BWEZANI BANDA, PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ZAMBIA CONFERENCE PATRON I am delighted to announce that the Government of Zambia and the International Institute for Peace through Tourism (IIPT), will be hosting the 5th IIPT African Conference in Lusaka, Zambia, from 15-20 May, 2011. Zambia last hosted the Conference in 2005, and we are greatly honoured that we have been given the privilege to host the event again in 2011. The hosting of the event in Zambia gives us an opportunity to add fresh impetus to the drive to fully develop the tourism sector. Zambia recognises the important role that tourism can play in the economic and social development of Africa and the developing world. Tourism also helps to foster peace in the world as every traveller is essentially a peace ambassador. Let me take this opportunity to therefore invite stakeholders in tourism from all over the world to come to the Conference in Zambia and showcase models of best practice in mitigating and addressing the anticipated impacts of climate change to tourism in Africa and the developing world. I hope that you will attend this important Conference and I look forward to welcoming you to Lusaka. H.E. Rupiah Bwezani Banda President of the Republic of Zambia A MESSAGE FROM HON. CATHERINE NAMUGALA, MP, MINISTER OF TOURISM, ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES Distinguished invited delegates, welcome to Zambia and in particular to the 5th IIPT African Conference.
