DESCRIPTION:Conservation theories of change are often predicated on commun
 ity-based wildlife management  bringing positive developments.  However\, 
 current thinking in political ecology and postcolonial intersectionality p
 redicts adverse impacts of such interventions on marginalised people\, inc
 luding  many rural women.  This first large-scale\, rigorous causal evalua
 tion studies impacts of Tanzania’s wildlife management areas (WMAs) on m
 arried women’s livelihoods and wellbeing  (937 wives in 42 villages acro
 ss six WMAs and matched controls\; three Northern and three Southern Tanza
 nia sites). Married women perceive community infrastructure benefits assoc
 iated with WMAs\, but have limited participation\, and experience major co
 sts through resource use restrictions and fear of wildlife attacks. Poorer
  wives are often worse affected.
