摘要

生态旅游的发展对生活在保护区内和保护区附近的人们的生计产生了影响,而生态旅游活动往往发生在这些地区。在某些情况下,不断发展的生态旅游损害了当地人维持生计和使其多样化的能力。本研究的目的是研究喀麦隆保护区实施的生态旅游和保护措施对居住在保护区内或附近的当地社区的影响。该研究采用了一种混合方法研究方法,基于喀麦隆的两个案例研究区域(喀麦隆山国家公园和Douala Edea野生动物保护区)。该研究的主要发现表明,社区的地理位置,加上制定的保护措施和生态旅游活动的水平,对当地人所经历的结果影响的严重程度有直接的影响。总的来说,保护区已经找到了加强保护和保存的措施。然而,由于地理邻近、生计策略和社区对生态旅游的参与等因素,这些措施对社区的影响程度在每个案例研究区域都有所不同。

The Impacts of Ecotourism and Conservation Measures in Protected Areas on Local Communities in Cameroon
The growth of ecotourism has an impact on the livelihoods of people living within and adjacent to protected areas, where ecotourism activities often take place. In some cases, evolving ecotourism has compromised the ability of locals to sustain and diversify their livelihoods. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of ecotourism and conservation measures implemented in protected areas in Cameroon on local communities residing either within or in close proximity to them. The study employed a mixed method research approach based on two case study areas in Cameroon (the Mount Cameroon National Park and the Douala Edea Wildlife Reserve). Key findings of the study suggest that the geographic location of communities, coupled with instituted conservation and preservation measures and the level of ecotourism activity, has a direct bearing on the severity of resultant impacts experienced by locals. Overall, measures in protected areas have been found to increase the conservation and preservation thereof. However, the extent to which communities are impacted upon by these measures differs in each case study area owing to factors such as geographical proximity, livelihood strategies, and community involvement in ecotourism.
