HIV/AIDS and conservation

HIV/AIDS trheatens protected area and natural resource management through: (1) Loss of capacity, skills and knowledge, (2) Changes in community demand for and use of natural resources, and (3) Diversion of conservation funds for AIDS associated costs,
Illness and death of staff mean: (1) Higher absenteeism, (2) Lower productivity, (3) Higher recruitment and training costs, and (4) Loss of skills and experience,
Illness and death in families mean: (1) Loss of labour, lower wage remittances and, (2) in turn, greater reliance on natural resources (bushmeat, medicinal plants, and charcoal-making).
