Saving the Planet with Class
Conservation's moral significance for capitalist reproduction has been vividly evident through its neoliberal formations, in which conservationists exalt the virtues of “natural capital” for “saving the planet.” Political ecologists and human geographers have critically engaged conservation's neoliberalization but not explained how and why conservation emerged as a prominent and durable realm of capitalist virtue-making. To address these question…

National Parks and Human Ecosystems the Challenge to Community Conservation. A Case Study From Simanjiro, Tanzania
Communism “without Guarantees”
This essay responds to the exchange between Jodi Dean and Stephen Healy that took place at the 2013 Rethinking Marxism International Conference. The concept of communism without guarantees, following Stuart Hall, acknowledges the exceptional difficulty of forming potentially emancipatory social formations in our current historical moment. This situation suggests that, when it comes to how we engage with paradox and uncertainty, we need to cultiva…
Prosuming’ conservation? Web 2.0, nature and the intensification of value-producing labour in late capitalism
Recent insights from critical social theory suggest that consumption and production co-constitute each other; a phenomenon referred to as ‘prosumption’. It is further suggested that contemporary prosumption dynamics could alter the form of capitalism. In this article, we argue that recent literature and research on the intersection between capitalism and nature conservation are highly relevant in engaging these claims. Predominantly but not solel…
Consume, Connect, Conserve
Global green grabs are facilitated by a logic in which environmental damage of economic growth is putatively mitigated by environmental repair elsewhere (Fairhead, Leach, and Scoones 2012: 242). A remarkably similar logic informs green consumption, whereby “the very consumerist act buys your redemption from being a consumer” (Žižek 2009). 1 Indeed, experiences of consumer redemption are visually linked to environmental repair at a distance. While…
Uneven Development and Accumulation by Dispossession in Nature Conservation
This paper applies Harvey's concepts of uneven development and accumulation by dispossession to nature conservation, comparatively, in the contexts of whale watching in the Azores and wildlife conservation in Tanzania. In both contexts, nature conservation revolves around processes of de‐regulation, re‐regulation, and territorialisation, facilitating new forms of capitalist expansion. Adapting Bourdieu's arguments and the inter‐changeability of d…
Towards a Synthesized Critique of Neoliberal Biodiversity Conservation
Duffy
A Spectacular Eco‐Tour around the Historic Bloc
The simultaneous proliferation of protected areas for biodiversity conservation and neoliberal market expansion has sparked a growing body of work, which suggests that these are mutually reinforcing processes that reflect alliances between conservationist and capitalist agendas. Because this alliance is so counter intuitive to the ways in which biodiversity conservation is popularly understood, theoretical perspectives concerning these relationsh…

The spectacle of nature in the global economy of appearances
Demands for economic growth are often visibly at odds with public concerns about what this growth portends for the future of our planet. In this context the production and dissemination of images not only shape people's perceptions of the world, but mediate social and human-environmental relationships. Debord saw such mediation as a central feature of late capitalism, in which images become commodities alienated from the relationships that produc…

Parks and Peoples
This review examines the social, economic, and political effects of environmental conservation projects as they are manifested in protected areas. We pay special attention to people living in and displaced from protected areas, analyze the worldwide growth of protected areas over the past 20 years, and offer suggestions for future research trajectories in anthropology. We examine protected areas as a way of seeing, understanding, and producing na…
Conservation, Human Rights, and Poverty Reduction
Recent exchanges in Oryx and Conservation Biology reveal considerable discomfort about the relationships between conservation, human rights, and development needs (Sanderson & Redford 2003; Brockington & Schmidt-Soltau 2004; Price et al. 2004; Romero & Andrade 2004). The former concerned the problems of combining poverty reduction with conservation priorities. The latter, anticipating an angrier exchange in World Watch (Chapin 2004; Seligmann et …
Measuring the Costs and Benefits of Conservation to Local Communities
Paradigms of community-based conservation that emerged in 1990s proposed to link twin goals of conservation and sustainable development under a single rubric. This was and is a very sexy idea, linking as it does protection of biodiversity and alleviation of poverty for most marginal human societies. More specifically, it links protection of wildlife and wild landscapes with protection of traditional indigenous peoples. In fact, ideas of wildernes…

Global indigenism and spaceship earth
Since the 1990s, indigenous issues have come to occupy a consistent place in the Global Conservation Movement. In 2000 the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) published a position paper entitled Indigenous and Traditional People of the World and Ecoregion Conservation, which posited significant overlap between biodiversity and cultural diversity on a global scale. The most recent World Parks Congress (2003) was attended by 120 indigenous representatives. O…

The End of Oil: On the Edge of a Perilous New World PAUL ROBERTS HOUGHTON MIFFLIN, BOSTON, 2004 399 PP. $25.00 HARDCOVER, $14.00 PAPERBACK The End of Oil is a semi-popular book written by an investigative journalist. Why should such a book be reviewed in the Journal of Ecological Anthropology? It is my considered opinion that good investigative journalism rivals ethnography in many ways, especially in cases where journalists spend significant tim…
Conservation and globalization
"This book makes current issues in political ecology and the question of globalization accessible to undergraduate students, as well as to non-academic readers. It is also empirically and theoretically rigorous enough to appeal to an academic audience. CONSERVATION AND GLOBALIZATION opens with a discussion of these two broad issues as they relate to the author's fieldwork with Maasai herding communities on the margins of Tarangire National Park i…

Optimistic pronouncements that world had reached the end of history in 1989 ring hollow in a post-9/11 world.1 While communism has all but disappeared as a geopolitical force, terrorism has replaced it as…
Scaling up Civil Society
Tanzania's pastoralist land rights movement began with local resistance to the alienation of traditional grazing lands in Maasai and Barabaig communities. While these community-based social movements were conducted through institutions and relationships that local people knew and understood, they were not co-ordinated in a comprehensive fashion and their initial effectiveness was limited. With the advent of liberalization in the mid-1980s, they b…
