Short Statement: Short Statement: National Parks are ecological, economic and social hot-beds and so represent the diverse interests of many social actors. The often powerful and well connected state actors demonize the livelihoods activities of local residents and use hastily enacted green forestry legislations to forcibly relocate park indigenes. This process often gains the support (financial and technical) of international donors. With the surging body of knowledge on the repercussive effects on both the displaced and the natural environment, it is time to review what works well for both people and nature. One of such approaches is to balance the conservation goal of the protected area as well as the perceived needs of its inhabitants. Encourage community crafted rules that have long constrained abusive extraction as well as unauthorized entrants.
