Description
"Transfrontier conservation is a global concept, which encompasses the protection of biodiversity spanning the borders of two or more countries in ways that support local economic development, international relations and peace. Nowhere is this more relevant, but highly debatable, than in Africa, which is home to one-third of the world's terrestial biodiversity, while at the same time hosting the poorest nations. This is one of the first books to account for the emergence of transfrontier conservation in Africa against international experiences in bioregional planning. The roles of the state and local populations are analysed, as well as the ecological, socio-economic and political implications." "This book will be an invaluable resource to students and researchers of natural resource management, conservation and political ecology, and also of interest to readers in African studies and ecotourism."--BOOK JACKET.
