The success of the model is primarily anchored on its business principle, conceived and driven by private sector leadership ethics and character. Community and government policies and processes are encumbered by too much bureaucracy and lethargy and can hardly drive such a complicated process forward. Whereas private sector leadership means that people with business instinct and ambition can see the opportunity of generating income from land by creating a win win arrangement where land supports wildlife which supports tourism which generates income. Since paying of rental fees is a huge overhead for the conservancy, the private sector players spearheading the project must be able to source for markets and people who are willing to pay to experience community wildlife sanctuaries that benefit local people and also wildlife. The people from the private sector who develop and implement the conservancy model must be imbued with high business integrity so that they can engage in legal and honest partnerships with communities and nurture a long-term and profitable relationships. This will enable habitats and ecosystems to flourish and marketing policies to bear fruit over time as both require long term planning, patience and great sacrifices by both parties.
There is need for safe and stable business environment because the undertaking is long term and hence need for long term stability and predictable policies. There is also need for favourable investment policies that encourage market driven private sector investments and partnerships with local people and on land. This model lays heavy emphasis on business inspired conservation where wildlife must directly benefit the people as an incentive to set their land for conservation
Conservation of natural resources and wildlife is constrained by shortage of land because the areas set aside for wildlife by national governments are too small. The participation of communities bordering national parks comes in handy by using their private land as part of conservation. However, this only works when the people derive direct benefit from this wildlife. Private sector participation that identifies business opportunities to bridge the income gap is paramount and can be used in many other parts and circumstances where private sector investors get into profitable partnerships with communities. The private sector spearheads the investment and marketing while the communities serve as custodians of the land and natural resources in exchange for income so generated. For this to succeed, the less the bureaucracy the better and the arrangement should be guided purely by mutual business partnership between the people and the private sector leaders in collaboration with other stakeholders including government institutions and departments.
