Territorialising Conservation: Community-based Approaches in Kenya and Namibia

Community-bsased Conservation seeks to strike a balance between nature conservation and economic growth by establishing spatial and institutional settings that maintain and even regain biodiversity while simultaneously allowing for sustainable land use. The implementation of community-based conserva...
