Abstract
This detailed report focuses on the social and economic sides of natural resource management, both of which have long been recognized as absolutely critical issues in the fight to conserve wildlife and habitats. Empowering local communities is a key element of WCS' work in Afghanistan and the WCS Community Conservation Program Team have spent many hours interviewing the Wakhi population to understand their lives and how the wildlife and rangelands are impacted. Results are presented in full here, helping to build up a comprehensive picture of life in the Wakhan.
