Résumé
Integrated conservation-development projects (ICDPs) have been widely developed and adopted in sub-Saharan Africa as a new approach to protected area management. Earlier studies have examined the conceptual foundations and performance of ICDPs at the macro scale. This paper uses household-level data to review experience with the ICDP approach in the Cross River National Park in southeast Nigeria. The paper argues that the failure of the project to meet local expectations precipitated arguments about resource tenure in this part of Nigeria which has a long history of community forest resource use and management. The implications for the sustainability of the conservation initiative are discussed.
