Transfrontier conservation areas

The introduction of transfrontier conservation areas (TFCAs) in Southern Africa was based on an enchanting promise, with cross-border collaboration and ecotourism becoming vehicles of this promise. This book focuses on the forgotten people displaced by, or living on the edge of, protected wildlife areas. The studies in this book move from the dream of ecotourism-fuelled development supporting nature conservation and people towards the local realities facing marginalized people, living adjacent to protected areas in environments often poorly situated to agriculture.
