Recent conservation policies in Africa have followed three main principles: 1) that conservation should be community-based; 2) that things conserved should be managed to achieve both development and conservation goals; 3) that markets should play a role in shaping the incentives for conservation. The editors and contributors of this volume examine the success or otherwise of these practices in a number of different contexts across the continent. North America: Heinemann; Uganda: Fountain Publishers; Kenya: EAEP; Zimbabwe: Weaver Press
Valuable for the honest and hard-hitting examination it gives community conservation. We learn that it will be difficult to provide meaningful returns from wildlife unless wildlife densities are high; that conservation is costly to communities. ...a must for all who are working on community conservation, scholars and practitioners alike. --Journal of Modern African Studies
A useful resource for conservation practitioners, academics and students alike. --LUCAS Bulletin
