Title information

Oates mounts a persuasive case against community development schemes in threatened rainforest areas

Myth and Reality in the Rain Forest


How Conservation Strategies are Failing in West Africa
John F Oates
310 pages, b/w photos, 9 maps.
California University Press
 
Softcover | 1999 | £14.95 | approx. $30/€20

#98858 | ISBN-10: 0520222520
The author argues that the linking of conservation to economic development has had disastrous consequences for many wildlife populations, especially in West Africa. He maintains that in those parts of the world where people are very poor, human well-being is more likely to be promoted by large-scale political, social, and economic reforms than by community development schemes associated with conservation projects.
