Description

Conservation and Development in Uganda explores the complex relationships between conservation, development, and governance in a country with extensive protected areas and iconic wildlife. This volume assesses various approaches to addressing conservation challenges, including community-based conservation and neoliberalised interventions. The authors examine the conflicts that arise from competing claims of conservation, agriculture, tourism, and industry, highlighting the stakes for vulnerable human populations and Uganda's biodiversity. Drawing on insights from political ecology, human geography, institutional economics, and environmental science, they identify lessons that can be applied to conservation and development in other contexts. By reviewing new research and analyses from emerging scholars and established academics, this book provides valuable insights into the challenges of sustainable development in a country with a highly volatile governance context.
