This book examines the nexus between conservation, land conflicts,
and sustainable tourism approaches in Southern Africa, with a focus
on equity, access, restitution, and redistribution. While Southern
Africa is home to important biodiversity, pristine woodlands, and
grasslands, and is a habitat for important wildlife species, it is
also a land of contestations over its natural resources with a
complex historical legacy and a wide variety of competing and
conflicting issues surrounding race, cultural and traditional
practices, and neoliberalism. Drawing on insights from
conservation, environmental, and tourism experts, this volume
presents the nexus between land conflicts and conservation in the
region. The chapters reveal the hegemony of humans on land and
associated resources including wildlife and minerals. By using
social science approaches, the book unites environmental,
scientific, social, and political issues, as it is imperative we
understand the holistic nature of land conflicts in nature-based
tourism. Discussing the management theories and approaches to
community-based tourism in communities where there are or were land
conflicts is critical to understanding the current state and future
of tourism in African rural spaces. This volume determines the
extent to which land reform impacts community-based tourism in
Africa to develop resilient destination strategies and shares
solutions to existing land conflicts to promote conservation and
nature-based tourism. The book will be of great interest to
students, academics, development experts, and policymakers in the
field of conservation, tourism geography, sociology, development
studies, land use, and environmental management and African
studies.
