Nature Unbound - Evolution & Innovation

These two books are for wildlife professionals, or those studying wildlife management.

Both books are published by Earthscan 

Nature Unbound

Written by Brockington, Duffy & Igoe.

A critical look at all aspects of protected areas, their social impacts & what the alternatives are.

This is a high brow book, with such headings as :

  • Neo-liberalism, disaster capitalism and the spectacle of nature.
  • Marx, liberal capitalism and seeing nature from inside the box.

Not everyone's taste. But if you are studying or wish to understand all aspects of conservation, this might be for you. The book explores many angles, and finds many problems with conservation and eco tourism, and in some cases shows how parks can be detrimental to the very wildlife they are trying to protect.

Evolution & Innovation

Written by Suich, Child & Spenceley

A study of the history, methods, practicalities, successes and failures of conservation in Southern Africa.

This in depth study looks provides case studies of many of Southern Africa's parks, the pros and cons of hunting (Hunting, after the dire colonial periods when it was de rigueur to kill as much as possible just for the hell of it, is now probably responsible for saving wildlife in many areas.), and the financial and social affects of the many national parks.

The evidence is supported by a huge amount of facts and figures, covering wildlife populations over time in many areas, number of tourists, revenue from tourism and hunting, and comparisons between farming and game ranching.
