Crimes Against Nature by Karl Jacoby
Squatters, Poachers, Thieves, and the Hidden History of American Conservation
This compelling historical analysis delves into the often-overlooked conflicts between conservation efforts and local communities in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It explores how the establishment of national parks and protected areas, intended to preserve nature, frequently clashed with the livelihoods and traditions of indigenous peoples and rural inhabitants. Through vivid storytelling and detailed research, the narrative reveals the complex dynamics of power, resistance, and environmental policy, highlighting the unintended consequences of well-meaning conservation initiatives on marginalized groups.
