This book provides a new inter-disciplinary look at the practice
and policies of conservation in Africa. Bringing together social
scientists, anthropologists and historians with biologists for the
first time, the book sheds some light on the previously neglected
but critically important social aspects of conservation thinking.
To date conservation has been very much the domain of the
biologist, but the current ecological crisis in Africa and the
failure of orthodox conservation policies demand a radical new
appraisal of conventional practices. This new approach to
conservation, the book argues, cannot deal simply with the survival
of species and habitats, for the future of African wildlife is
intimately tied to the future of African rural communities.
Conservation must form an integral part of future policies for
human development. The book emphasises this urgent need for a
complementary rather than a competitive approach. It covers a wide
range of topics important to this new approach, from wildlife
management to soil conservation and from the Cape in the nineteenth
century to Ethiopia in the 1980s. It is essential reading for all
those concerned about people and conservation in Africa.
