Abstract
This study describes the communities living in and around the Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area (SBCA) as they were in early 2008. Two main data sources are compared in this study – Commune Database (CDB) figures from the Department of Planning and field survey information collected by WCS/FA. Basic demographic data were collected, with the addition of some supplementary questions. In particular we sought to find out information on livelihoods and how many community-based organisations were present in the landscape. The report also reviews information on agri-business and mining exploration concessions, which are likely to be key drivers of demographic change in the future.
