Land Rights, Biodiversity Conservation and Justice

Land Rights, Biodiversity Conservation and Justice explores the tension that often arises between the differing aims and objectives of land justice advocates and conservation and biodiversity advocates. In illustrating the spaces between competing agendas of land governance and conservation, the book offers a counter- narrative that affirms that the successful and just future of biodiversity conservation is contingent upon land tenure security for local people. The original research gathered together in this volume will be of considerable interest to researchers of development studies, political ecology, land rights, and conservation.
