{"title":"Regional resilience and social-ecological systems: the impact of COVID-19 on community conservation in Namibia","authors":"Lars Lüder, Linus Kalvelage","doi":"10.1080/19376812.2023.2276939","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/19376812.2023.2276939","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic severely affected wildlife areas in Namibia, where the collapse of tourism threatened community-based natural resource management programs. This study conceptualizes community conservancies as social-ecological systems and links this framework to an evolutionary regional resilience perspective. Qualitative interviews reveal the vulnerability of conservancies in the Zambezi region due to their heavy reliance on tourism revenues. While adaptation processes and donor support have mitigated negative impacts, the prioritisation of conservation over rural development risks undermining the long-term adaptive capacity of the region. Continued donor support, policy improvements and diversification efforts are essential to strengthen the resilience of community-based conservation.KEYWORDS: CBNRMregional resiliencesocial-ecological systemsCovid-19Namibia AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank Carolin Hulke, Jim Kairu, Javier Revilla Diez and Lucas Rutina who, together with Linus Kalvelage, designed and organised the first wave of data collection as described in Hulke et al. (Citation2022). Data collection would not have been possible without the help of the following University of Namibia graduates: Sofia Nifuma, Simasiku Adrein Mwanangombe, Chataa Aretha and Pauline Munyindei. We are also grateful for the support of Castrow Muunda, Chairperson of the Zambezi Horticulture Producers Association. We are particularly indebted to all the respondents who shared their knowledge and time to contribute to this study.

He previously studied Geography and African Languages and Cultures at the same university.Linus KalvelageLinus Kalvelage is a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer at the Institute of Geography, University of Cologne, Germany, and a member of the inter-disciplinary Global South Studies Center. With a focus on economic geography, Linus works at the interface of economy, nature and space, analyzing regional development trajectories through nature conservation and energy transition in peripheral regions. His doctoral research within the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC 228) ‘Future Rural Africa’ looked at the intersection of growth corridors, tourism value chains and protected areas in Southern Africa. His postdoctoral research is concerned with sustainable energy transitions, in particular green hydrogen projects in the European and African periphery.","PeriodicalId":44819,"journal":{"name":"African Geographical Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135138324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue that visualization is crucial in the public geography, which seeks to contest the social alienation of the farm settlement landscape in the state’s agricultural politics of visibility. Employing landscape analysis, this paper explores the origins of the Coker farm, the unfolding visual knowledge of the landscape, and the media representation of a threatened agricultural landscape. This paper contributes to the importance of visualization in public geographies engaged in the agricultural politics of visibility.KEYWORDS: Agricultural landscapeCoker Farm Settlementpublic geographystate cartographypopular geographies AcknowledgmentsI appreciate the editorial guidance of Dr Amber Murrey-Ndewa, discussions with Dr Alex Wafer and comments of the anonymous reviewers, which has improved the earlier manuscript of the paper.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFunding This work was supported by the Emancipatory Futures Studies Project, 2020-2021, Wits University, Johannesburg, South Africa.Notes on contributorsBabatunde A.

A multistage sampling technique was used in selecting 362 cocoa farmers in the study area. The results of a two-step control function quasi-maximum likelihood revealed that age, household size, farm size, and farming experience positively influenced the poverty depth while cooperative membership negatively influenced the depth of poverty among cocoa farmers. This study concludes that cooperative organizations have the potential to reduce poverty effectively, provided their values and principles are respected.
