Abstract
Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) is a rural development paradigm that combines biological conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. In southern Africa, CBNRM has contributed to the wellbeing of human communities and to the conservation of elephants and other threatened species. Success in this arena requires the establishment of a respectful partnership between villagers and scientists that draws upon their complementary knowledge and skills.Keywords
