Magister Philosophiae - MPhil / South Africa has developed an extensive network of parks, nature reserves and conservation areas, the stated
purpose of which is to both promote and protect nature and, particularly in the case of state-owned resources,
to harness the power of tourism in social and economic development. This study examines the impact on rural
and urban communities of proclaimed 'nature areas' and related efforts by the state to grow the economic and
developmental contribution of tourism in the regions concerned. Through interrogating this 'triangulation' of
nature, tourism and local economic development the pattern of benefit distribution from the protection of nature
areas is highlighted.
