Dominant approaches to wildlife utilization in protected areas exclude local community participation. This results in conflict between protected areas and adjacent communities. This study aimed at examining factors affecting community participation in wildlife resource use and management in the Moremi Game Reserve in the Ngamiland area of Botswana. It is concluded that there are prospects for enhancing community participation in this protected area, proposing The Man and Biosphere as a framework for enhancing community participation.
