Environmental
Colonialism: “Saving” Africa from Africans
By Robert H. Nelson
Under the banner of saving the African environment, Africans in the
last half century have been subjected to colonialism from an
overlooked source: the conservation movement. Local populations have
been displaced and impoverished in order to create national parks and
to serve other conservation objectives, in large part because Western
conservationists misunderstand African wildlife management practices
and problems.
