In the twentieth century, north-central Namibia experienced both
dramatic deforestation and reforestation as a result of population
pressure. It also witnessed the de-globalization of a pre-colonial
global resource - cattle. Since the early 1960's, the exact causes
and consequences of deforestation have been hotly contested by
experts, politicians, and CEO's alike. The prevailing literature
focuses predominantly on evaluating environmental change against a
base line (e.g. Nature) to assess whether the outcome is
environmentally neutral or whether it constitutes environmental
degradation or improvement. Kreike shows us how the environmental
history of north-central Namibia suggests that environmental change
should be understood to be multi-directional, involving multiple
sub-processes with multiple outcomes - not only in north-central
Namibia but also elsewhere in Africa and beyond.
