Abstract

This study assessed the effectiveness of community participation in the management of Kamuku National Park Kaduna.

Nine (9) communities around the park were purposefully selected for questionnaire administration to its members as well as focus group discussion and interview with key informants were also conducted.

A sample size of 370 was used and analyzed descriptively as well as results presented in tables, bar charts and pie chart. From the result it was found out that vigilante and ex-hunters clubs represented by 52.2% was the predominant community association around the park, followed by student conservation clubs with 26.2%.

Among the community’s contribution to the park management is the provision of information on the movement of poachers (50%), serving as recruited informants (15%), touring guide (20%) and conflicts resolution between the management of the park and members of the community with 15%.

The communities identified the following as constraints to their participation in park management less recognition (31.9%), low awareness (27.3%), low interest (20.1%), and inadequate manpower (18.1%) among others. 

Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

In 1968, Nigeria signed the new African Convention for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources together with 37 other African nations (Happold, 1987).

All these developments gave rise to the formation of protected areas such as Forest and Game Reserves in Nigeria from which the present generation of National Park System eventually emerged.

The establishment of National Parks in Nigeria is a very recent development (Marguba, 2002) when compared to some regions as North America, Western Europe, East and Southern Africa.

It began in 1979 when the military administration promulgated Decree 46 of 1979 (later Act 46 of 1979) established Kainji Lake National Park. The 1979 law was repealed and replaced by Decree 36 of 1991, establishing five national parks including Kainji Lake (Marguba, 2002).

The other national parks include Chad Basin, Cross River, Gashaka-Gumti and Old Oyo. By a special request of the Bauchi State Government, the Federal Executive Council approved the upgrading of Yankari to a National Park in August 1991.
