Peer Review
Does well: The results section balances the positive and negative effects of the program.

Needs to improve: Provide more context of how/where the program originated

Important thing: Add more context to the “Beginning” section about how the program started.

Organization: If you can find the info I would add a section between “Beginning” and “US Involvement” to explain the program in a regional/continental context

Application to my article: My article also references community led natural resource management programs in Botswana

What I want to know more about: What catalyzed the CAMPFIRE program? Is it specific to Zimbabwe? Has the program been implemented in other African countries? How have other African countries responded to the program? Is there a rural/urban divide in opinions over the success of the program?

Theodore's reponse
Does well: This article goes to into great depth describing the CAMPFIRE system. What I really found great about this contribution is your reliance on numbers and percents. I noticed that the original article also has a US involvement portion that looks very similar, so I am assuming that you must have added changes, but the paragraph flows much better in your version.

Needs to improve: I don't understand how the CAMPFIRE program helped wildlife populations. I see that you state that in your results part, but it seems that granting license to kill would negatively affect the populations. If expand more on how it positively influenced the ecosystem that would be great.

Important: Maybe more background on the beginning. Why did Zimbabwe move to this type of policy in the first place? Was it just an elephant problem?

Organization: The paragraphs themselves flow well together and coherently. The US involvement seems partially contrived, but it definitely adds more context into this very niche topic.

Application to my article: I don't think there was much take away for me in relation to my own article.

What I want to know more about: I would like to know more about why this program was enacted in the first place and what are some the drawbacks to this policy, if there is information it. Aside from the anti-poaching critics in the US are there any Zimbabweans in general that are critical to these types of reforms, and why?
