摘要

摘要本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚南部两个州管辖的Arbegona和Nensebo woredas地区当地社区对野生动物保护法的认识以及野生动物执法的有效性。收集数据的方法包括住户调查、关键信息提供者访谈、实地观察和文件审查。共随机抽取185户家庭(89户来自阿尔比戈纳,96户来自内塞博)进行住户调查。还从这两个区选出了34名关键线人。不同年龄层(p = 0.000)和文化程度(p = 0.014)的野生动物法律意识差异有统计学意义(p = 0.014)。Arbegona和Nensebo woredas的大多数家庭(分别为43.8%和51%)表示,由于缺乏对野生动物和森林资源重要性的认识以及人口和牲畜数量的增加,野生动物和森林资源的状况有所下降。由于缺乏工作人员和资金、设备不足以及社区和管理机构的支持不足,导致这两个地区的执法效率低下。在这两个研究区域,野生动物面临着许多威胁,包括非法狩猎、农业用地扩张、非法定居点、砍伐树木和非法放牧牲畜。根据研究结果,可以得出结论,奥罗米亚区域州管理的内塞博森林资源过度开发和执法效率低下的程度比西达马区域州管理的阿比戈纳森林更严重。一般来说,为了维持野生动物保护,需要提高农民对野生动物法律和保护实践的认识。此外,迫切需要一个强有力的正式框架/标准准则来建立有效的野生动物执法实践。

A Comparative Study of Wildlife Law Awareness and Enforcement in Two Districts Administered under Two Distinct Regional States, Southern Ethiopia
Abstract A study was conducted to assess the awareness of the local community about wildlife conservation law and the effectiveness of wildlife law enforcement in the Arbegona and Nensebo woredas (districts) administered under two regional states, in southern Ethiopia. Household surveys, key informant interviews, field observations and document reviews were used to collect data. In total, 185 households (89 from Arbegona and 96 from Nensebo) were randomly selected for the household survey. Thirty-four key informants were also selected from the two districts. There was a significant difference about wildlife law awareness among age class (p = 0.000) and educational level (p = 0.014). A majority of the households (43.8% and 51%) in Arbegona and Nensebo woredas, respectively, indicated that the condition of wildlife and forest resources declined due to a lack of awareness on their importance and the increased human and livestock populations. A lack of staff and funds, insufficient equipment and low support from the community and regulatory bodies contributed to inefficient law enforcement in both districts. In both study areas, there are many threats to wildlife, which include illegal hunting, the expansion of agricultural land, illegal settlements, tree cutting and illegal livestock grazing. From the findings of the study, it can be concluded that there is a greater degree of forest/wildlife resource overexploitation and law enforcement ineffectiveness in the Nensebo woreda, administered by Oromia Regional State, than in the Arbegona woreda, administered by Sidama Regional State. Generally, to sustain wildlife conservation there is a need to raise awareness among farmers about wildlife laws and conservation practice. Moreover, there is an urgent need to have a strong formal framework/standard guideline to establish effective wildlife law enforcement practices.

期刊介绍: Drawing upon the findings from island biogeography studies, Norman Myers estimates that we are losing between 50-200 species per day, a rate 120,000 times greater than the background rate during prehistoric times. Worse still, the rate is accelerating rapidly. By the year 2000, we may have lost over one million species, counting back from three centuries ago when this trend began. By the middle of the next century, as many as one half of all species may face extinction. Moreover, our rapid destruction of critical ecosystems, such as tropical coral reefs, wetlands, estuaries, and rainforests may seriously impair species" regeneration, a process that has taken several million years after mass extinctions in the past.
