Fortress Conservation by Dan Brockington
The Preservation of the Mkomazi Game Reserve, Tanzania
This insightful work delves into the complexities and controversies surrounding the practice of fortress conservation, where protected areas are established by excluding local communities. It critically examines the historical and socio-political dynamics that have shaped conservation efforts, highlighting the often adverse impacts on indigenous populations who are displaced or restricted from accessing their traditional lands. Through a series of case studies, the book challenges the notion that conservation and human rights are mutually exclusive, advocating for more inclusive and equitable approaches that consider the needs and knowledge of local communities in preserving biodiversity.
