This book critically explores the political ecology of human
marginalization, wildlife conservation and the role of the state in
politicizing conservation frameworks, drawing on examples from
forests in India. The book specifically demonstrates the nuances
within human-environmental linkages, by showing how environmental
concerns are not only ecological in content but also political. In
India a large part of the forests and their surrounding areas were
inhabited far before they were designated as protected areas and
inviolate zones, with the local population reliant on forests for
their survival and livelihoods. Thus, socioecological conflicts
between the forest dependents and official state bodies have been
widespread. This book uses a political ecology lens to explore the
complex interplay between current norms of forest conservation and
environmental subjectivities, illustrating contemporary
articulation of forest rights and the complex mediations between
forest dependents and different state and non-state bodies in
designing and implementing regulatory standards for wildlife and
forest protection. It foregrounds the issues of identity, migration
and cultural politics while discussing the politics of
conservation. Through a political ecology approach, the book not
only is human-centric but also makes significant use of the role of
non-humans in foregrounding the conservation discourse, with a
particular focus on tigers. The book will be of great interest to
students and academics studying forest conservation,
human–wildlife interactions and political ecology.
