Sharing the land : wildlife, people and development in Africa

This book aims to provide an African perspective to the global debate on the sustainable use of wild species. Examples and contributions from across the continent illustrate the conservation dilemma - pressure on Africa's ecosystems and the reality of wildlife use by numerous communities. A look into new policy directions and strategies that have emerged from decades of experience, now being taken by governments, local communities, the private sector and the global community, show that wildlife and people can share the land.
