Student Presentations (Aubrey, Joyce, and Bianca)

We've finished up our student article presentations over the past couple of days while at Camp Kitso. Yesterday, Aubrey presented on the effects of Community-Based Natural Resource Management on employment rates, household income, and livelihood strategies in the Okavango Delta region. 

After lunch, Joyce presented on the effectiveness of basket weaving for improving rural livelihoods and providing additional sources of income for these households. We will get to see locally produced baskets this Monday at a women's basket weaving cooperative here in Maun.

This morning, Bianca spoke about land management and policy change in the Lake Ngami region, located roughly 100 kilometers south of Maun. Recently, a large amount of the traditionally communal lands in this area have been privatized by policies aimed at reducing impact to these lands, resulting in a "shrinking of the commons."
