Key Messages

The success of Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCAs) like the GLTFCA depends on addressing deep-rooted socio-economic and institutional challenges that drive communities toward unsustainable and illicit resource use. Low education levels, weak governance, limited livelihood options, and human-wildlife conflict continue to undermine conservation and development objectives, particularly for vulnerable and female-headed households.
