Abstract

Guyana is een goed voorbeeld van hoe de schuldenlast tot een milieuramp kan leiden. In naam van de structurele aanpassing lanceerde dit arme land, dat tot over zijn oren in de schulden zit, immers een grootschalig programma van mijnbouw en houtwinning. De helft van de oppervlakte van het land werd verpacht aan buitenlandse bedrijven die massaal bossen kappen. De goudmijnen kennen een nieuwe en potentieel gevaarlijk boom, zoals de ramp in de Omaimijn in 1995 aantoont. Tussen dit alles zitten de oorspronkelijke inheemse bewoners van Guyana, gemarginaliseerd en bedreigd door talrijke conflicten met de houthakkers, ranchers en mijnbouwbedrijven.

Abstract

Wildlife conservation and other environmental protection projects can have tremendous impact on the lives and livelihoods of the often mobile, difficult-to-reach, and marginal peoples who inhabit the same territory. The contributors to this collection of case studies, social scientists as well as natural scientists, are concerned with this human element in biodiversity. They examine the interface between conservation and indigenous communities forced to move or to settle elsewhere in order to accommodate environmental policies and biodiversity concerns. The case studies investigate successful and not so successful community-managed, as well as local participatory, conservation projects in Africa, the Middle East, South and South Eastern Asia, Australia and Latin America. There are lessons to be learned from recent efforts in community managed conservation and this volume significantly contributes to that discussion.
