Presenter:Prof Koos CoetzerDeputy Dean: Research, Postgraduate Studies and InternationalizationFaculty of Veterinary ScienceUniversity of Pretoria
Transfrontier ParksCurrent trends:
Development of TFCAs with major focus on wildlife and culturally based tourism
Infrastructure development and removal of fences (and other barriers) to encourage tourism and restore mobility of wildlife over larger landscapes
High expectations for tourism development and wealth generation on the part of governments, parks agencies and TFCA residents
But, serious wildlife, livestock and associated human and resource use issues remain to be addressed across national and land use boundaries
ContextThe activities of the proposed collaborating Centre will be supportedby the following institutions:
Lead Institution: Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases, Faculty of Veterinary Science, UP, SA (Contact person: Prof JAW Coetzer) University of Pretoria (Centre for Veterinary Wildlife Studies, Department of Animal and Wildlife Sciences, Department of Agricultural Economics, Extension and Rural Development)
