Resumo(s)
Biodiversity conservation traditionally necessitates setting aside land, which
frequently impacts local communities. Although progress has been made on
how to optimize this process, conflict frequently emerges when conservation
and community goals are at odds. Improving communication and community
inclusiveness in decision-making processes is strongly recommended to
achieve livelihood goals and conservation outcomes. We used social network
analysis to understand how local communities are embedded within the structure and dynamics of stakeholder interactions in Quirimbas National Park (Mozambique). We detected a network of limited cooperation that lacks bidirectional communication, displaying low average knowledge transfer but high bonding across stakeholder groups with similar perceptions. Local communities only interact with the district government and they have a passive voice in the system. A more inclusive network structure is needed so that conservation and community livelihood goals can be achieved.
