Top scholars examine issues which lead readers to better understand
environmental change in the African continent and its effects on
rural African livelihoods. Each of the studies in this book
concerns four main issues: conservation, biodiversity, and
environment; land use and livelihoods; environmental change; and
policies for conservation and development. The volume looks closely
at the details of rural resource use, access and control, the
social institutions which shape this, and the effects on African
environments. It is not possible to understand livelihoods in
Africa - a central issue for all social and economic questions -
without grasping the interplay between environmental change and the
sustainability of rural livelihoods. The volume is groundbreaking
in its detailed examination of this interplay, and its importance
in grasping the roots of poverty and potential for its alleviation,
and for its unique combination of natural and social science
methods.
