Summary
Conservation Performance Payments (CPPs) can potentially balance environmental and development goals, but evidence of their effectiveness, particularly in developing countries and for conflict-prone species, remains limited. Our project develops and rigorously evaluates a CPP scheme to foster human-wildlife coexistence in Zambia’s Greater Kafue Ecosystem. By facilitating the recovery of several critically important carnivore populations, safeguarding the integrity of two key Game Management Areas, and enhancing local livelihoods and wellbeing, we provide a scalable model for global replication.
