  • The production operational costs for Kimana BL and Kimana AL do not differ a lot because over 90% of them emanate from guarding farms and fence maintenance. However as shown in Sec. 5.3, the direct management costs of the latter organisation are almost double of those of the former
  • The failure for GM sanctuary to meet its costs is evidently supported by its trading and profit/loss accounts. For example, from 1997 to 1999, it had an annual loss of US$1,300 even after taking account of an infusion of US$21,490 per year as cash donations from non-governmental organisations and friends of the Cliff area landowners (source: audited reports)
  • Since the fence cannot prevent the wildlife from attacking human beings and livestock, it is assumed that landowners savings arise only from reduced time of guarding and crop losses

  • Even if the sanctuaries are less than 100 km2, each has only one Game camp. Amboseli has four Game lodges while Shimba Hills is served by many hotels since it is located nearer to the coastal beaches

  • Adjustments for inflation have however been done for those values estimated earlier than the year 2000
  • In the OECD project evaluation guidelines, 25% is recommended by Little/Mirrlees (quoted by Gaspary and Schmidt, 1984) as the upper limit of the value that should be applied to convert actual wages to shadow ones. However, with an ever rising unemployment level in Kenya, 30% is applied instead
