Loved (lions/red squirrels) and unloved others (spotted hyenas/grey squirrels)
Conservation generally benefits from spectacles of protecting 'loved others', i.e., those inspiring a human desire for their continued existence, rather than 'unloved others', i.e., those disregarded, disliked or targeted for death. We juxtapose conservation dynamics related to unloved others with much-loved others: spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) and lions (Panthera leo) in Tanzania, and grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) and red squirrels (…
Community-based tourism in Africa
The production-protection nexus
This article advances a novel analytical framework for investigating the influence of political-economic processes in human-wildlife interactions (HWI) to support efforts to transform wildlife conservation governance. To date, the majority of research and advocacy addressing HWI focuses on micro-level processes, while even the small body of existing literature exploring social dimensions of such interactions has largely neglected attention to pol…
From timber rush to avocado rush? Insights and areas for research on restoration and development initiatives in Southern Highlands, Tanzania
Going Back to the Roots
Given growing human influence on the earth system's functioning, caring for nature has never been this critical. However, whether for economic interests or ‘wilderness’ preservation, attempts to save nature have been grounded on a Western scientific philosophy of separating it from people's ways of living, especially through ‘protected areas'. Under the banner ‘convivial conservation', which advocates socio-ecological justice and structural trans…
Why the Convivial Conservation Vision Needs Complementing to be a Viable Alternative for Conservation in the Global South
Convivial conservation is presented as an anti-capitalist approach and alternative to current mainstream conservation as well as proposals for ‘half-earth’ and ‘new conservation’ approaches. This paper reviews these approaches and situates them in the global South conservation and development context. Using the Ruaha-Rungwa Ecosystem in Tanzania as a case study, it examines elements of the convivial conservation vision in relation to three critic…
Exploring Convivial Conservation in Theory and Practice
Convivial conservation has been put forward as a radical alternative to transform prevailing mainstream approaches that aim to address global concerns of biodiversity loss and extinction. This special issue includes contributions from diverse disciplinary and geographical perspectives which critically examine convivial conservation's potential in theory and practice and explore both possibilities and challenges for the approach's transformative a…
Transformation beyond conservation
Multiple proposals for transforming biodiversity conservation have been put forward, yet critical exploration of how transformative change is conceptualised in this context is lacking. Drawing on transformations to sustainability scholarship, we review recent proposals for transformative change in biodiversity conservation, considering the suggested goals and means of transformation. We outline the crucial role for critical social scientific inqu…
Levels of community participation and satisfaction with decentralized wildlife management in Idodi-Pawaga Wildlife Management Area, Tanzania
Participatory approaches to conservation are viewed as a plausible alternative to the old ‘fortress conservation’ approach. The design and implementation of these approaches in developing countries have tended to embrace community participation through decentralized governance mechanisms in the past three decades. However, sustainable conservation approaches that maintain community livelihoods while conserving biodiversity are challenged with mee…
