The world is in the midst of an extinction crisis, and policymakers grapple with how to best facilitate wildlife conservation. Traditionally, wildlife conservation has used a "fortress" approach, consisting of the nationalization of wildlife and the creation of strict formal protected areas. However, over the past several decades, concerns over the efficacy, cost, and fairness of the fortress model approach have led to the adoption, particularly in developing countries, of community-based natural resource management (CBNRM). In this dissertation, I examine two core issues: (1) the efficacy of the CBNRM approach, and (2) the factors impacting the approach's effectiveness. From these two core issues, I use a mixed-methods research design to develop and examine three specific, related inquiries. I use a large-N analysis to compare the effectiveness of CBNRM and governmental approaches at protecting the African elephant. I utilize data from a field survey in four CBNRM areas in Namibia's northwest Kunene region to measure the relationship between different types of wildlife-generated benefits received by residents and their opinions of whether wildlife has improved their lives. Finally, together with a coauthor, I conduct and use a behavioral laboratory experiment to analyze the impact of economic and risk heterogeneities, and their interaction, on collective action where users face a risk of loss resulting from human-wildlife conflict.I determine that both the national and CBNRM governance approaches are associated with a range of elephant protection outcomes, and that neither is clearly more efficacious. Based on analyzing data from my field survey, I find that different types of wildlife-generated economic benefits have markedly different associations with whether CBNRM residents feel that wildlife has benefitted their lives. My behavioral experiment data suggest that risk and economic heterogeneities both undermine collective action, elevate risk levels significantly decrease individual cooperation, and that relative wealth levels can markedly influences individual risk tolerance. Tying together these three strands of research, I contend that CBNRM participants should be viewed as dynamic entities, with needs and preferences that shift in response to psychological and external factors.
