Rowan Martin
Rowan Martin qualified at Manchester University in the 1960s
as an engineer and physicist and switched his career to wildlife
and environmental issues in 1970. He worked for the Department
of National Parks in Zimbabwe for 25 years and was head of wildlife
and fisheries research in the department from 1987 - 1997. Since
then, he has been working as a free-lance consultant in the Southern
African region on a range of conservation and development projects.
Apart from wildlife ecology, his interests lie in land use planning and institutional
structures. He is the author of the well-known Communal Areas Management Programme
for Indigenous Resources (CAMPFIRE 1986) and has recently been advocating new
models for State protected area management in southern Africa. |
