Uganda has extensive protected areas and iconic wildlife (including
mountain gorillas), which exist within a complex social and
political environment. In recent years Uganda has been seen as a
test bed and model case study for numerous and varied approaches to
address complex and connected conservation and development
challenges. This volume reviews and assesses these initiatives,
collecting new research and analyses both from emerging scholars
and well-established academics in Uganda and around the globe.
Approaches covered range from community-based conservation to the
more recent proliferation of neoliberalised interventions based on
markets and payments for ecosystem services. Drawing on insights
from political ecology, human geography, institutional economics,
and environmental science, the authors explore the challenges of
operationalising truly sustainable forms of development in a
country whose recent history is characterised by a highly volatile
governance and development context. They highlight the stakes for
vulnerable human populations in relation to of large and growing
socioeconomic inequalities, as well as for Uganda's rich, unique,
and globally significant biodiversity. They illustrate the
conflicts that occur between competing claims of conservation,
agriculture, tourism, and the energy and mining industries.
Crucially, the book draws out lessons that can be learned from the
Ugandan experience for conservation and development practitioners
and scholars around the world.
