Résumé
This paper will investigate the economic rationale for setting in place a system of community-based conservation in a protected area. Using as an example Mount Kenya it will illustrate how traditional exclusionist approaches to wildlife protection can, by economically marginalising local communities, fail to lead to a situation where wildlife resources are conserved. By demonstrating the distribution of economic costs and benefits associated with Mount Kenya Forest Reserve under different conservation scenarios, and focusing on the economic impacts of conservation on forest-adjacent populations, the paper will demonstrate how a range of economic conditions and incentives can be set in place to achieve a situation where forest resources are conserved at the same time ascommunity economic welfare increases.
