Communities and Conservation: Histories and Politics of Community-Based Natural Resource Management

A group of distinguished environmentalists offer an in-depth analysis of and call to advocacy for community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. They review the emergence of this transnational movement and how it has forged links between environmental management and social justice agendas. This book will be of value to instructors, practitioners and activists in environmental anthropology, cultural geography, environmental justice, environmental policy, political ecology, indigenous rights, conservation biology, and community-based cultural resource management.
