Abstract
This project looks at strategies of integrating indigenous knowledge in bird watching ecotourism in Ibo, Matemo and Quirimba islands (district of Cabo Delgado Province, northern Mozambique) as a means of enabling active local participation in governance. The desired end result is that the economic standing of the local communities will improve as they conserve biodiversity, and safeguard cultural landscapes and traditions. There is need for agreement between local communities and tourist operators on how to control the level of slaughtering and hunting of some bird species used as food stock.
