摘要：The main thrust of this study was to assess wildlife legislation in relation to conservation and control of animal diseases, andsocio-economic impacts on interface livestock keeping communities. The study was structured in two phases. The firstinvolved review of available wildlife/ancillary legislation from 1912 to 2014. The second involved a questionnaire survey oninterface livestock keepers around the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia.Reviewed data showed that enactment of wildlife legislation over this period responded to increased poaching trends, anddepletion/extinction of species like the rhinoceros. Subsequent amendments of legislation increased enforcement powers,autonomy and transfer of decision-making to the wildlife Authority. Provisions for communities’ participation inenforcement remained weak. Ancillary legislations provided for control of diseases of wildlife origin.This study showed disconnect in implementation of legislations, amplifying their negative socio-economic impacts oninterface livestock keepers, and demonstrating unsustainable development. Comprehensive nationwide multi-sectorialregulatory impact assessment was recommended.
