CHAPTER SEVEN
7.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter is the final chapter of the project work. Here various inferences, deductions, assumptions and presumptions are drawn on the research objectives and recommendations are also made to the research objectives and further research areas of importance in relation to the research topic are made.
7.1 Conclusions
From a global perspective, wildlife crime has been identified as one of the key factor militating against the successful and sustainable conservation of wildlife species. Wildlife crime has led to the complete extinction of many species and continues to pose threats to many other species. The current rate of wildlife degradation across the world places Vision 2030 in the dark. …show more content…
If they do not benefit, are marginalized and are not compensated for opportunity costs and harm incurred as a result of resource conservation, then threat to biodiversity may be carried to the ultimate conclusion; extinction of species. While there are encouraging signs of the potential effectiveness of local monitoring programs in aiding management decisions, reduction of conservation threats and empowering local communities to improve their livelihoods, a key outstanding question centers on their ability to deal with sampling error and thus reliably detect true trends in monitored populations (Rodriguez 2003; Yoccoz et al. 2003; Brashares and Sam 2005; Danielsen et al. 2005a and …show more content…
Management of the protected area should make the effort to adopt the usage of the GPS during field patrol activities. By so doing, field observations can be geo-referenced for purposes of validity and reliability of the field reports and subsequent usage for management planning. It was also observed that there were still communities leaving inside the protected area making it very difficult for management to cope with the anthropological impacts of the inhabitants of these villages. Stakeholder institutions must intervene to help move the communities out of the protected area if the objectives of protecting the area are to be released. The existence of the communities according to reports from the management is hampering NGOs and private investors from coming to the area in terms of tourism development. A report was chanced upon during the study which was a baseline survey report conducted by SNV in 2006 to evaluate the tourism potential of the area and from the report and personal observation through field visits, it can be said that the area has a huge potential for tourism which could support livelihoods in the area than it is currently doing. The least said about research in the area the better. The area has been abandoned by researchers and very little has been done. It is therefore suggested that research institutions turn their focus to the KRR to document the resources there and
