Abstract: 
ELNAC addresses the vivid and on-going human-wildlife conflict in the KaZa Transfrontier Conservation Area. It assumes the conflict to be caused by the current conservation paradigm, which stigmatizes local communities (LCs) as degrading agents and excludes them from managing the natural resources around them. Not only livelihoods but also conservation outcomes are jeopardized through this process. ELNAC proposes that conservation, development and food security can be synergetic goals if managed under another, agroecological paradigm. It proposes to integrate landscape analysis with the functional resource heterogeneity and Social-Ecological Systems frameworks to improve the governance of conservation areas and increase the self-determination of LCs in the conservation and food security objectives.
