Abstract
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, ECOTOURISM AND TRADITIONAL LEADERSHIP INTERFACE IN BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION.
THEME 2: Building sustainable, resilient, and self-reliant communities through indigenous modalities, inter-sectoral collaborations, and partnerships
SUB 2.2 Strengthening community support structures to mitigate the impact of adverse events
Oral Presentation
Ecotourism is one of the main economic drivers of community development. The degradation of land and extinction of species along the coast, because of natural disasters may be regarded as the main threats to sustainable livelihood. This paper serves to explore if the interface of community development, ecotourism and traditional leadership serve as the key drivers for economic development and sustainable livelihood. A qualitative design was used to conduct the study, involving traditional leaders, programme officials, project managers and owners of ecotourism ventures in four local municipalities situated in Northern KwaZulu- Natal in South Africa. 20 participants from uMkhanyakude District Municipality were recruited through a purposive sampling method. The Sustainable Livelihoods Approach (SLA) was used as an explanatory lens. In findings, the interface of community development, ecotourism, and traditional leadership serves as the key drivers for economic development and sustainable livelihood in uMkhanyakude District Municipality. The paper concluded that the human beings’ reliance on plants and animals is indispensable.
Keywords: Community development, traditional leadership, ecotourism, economic drivers, Sustainable Livelihoods Approach.
