Beskrivning

Most people would feel a great loss if elephants, rhinos, or gorillas were to become extinct, but would we willingly move our families, change our means of earning a living, and disrupt our culture to prevent their extinction? People living in rural Africa are being asked to do just this by the world community. The Myth of Wild Africa explores a joint African/Western approach to conservation with the goal of returning control to the African nations.

Recensioner i media

"A useful introduction to the complex issues that must be confronted by Africans and their concerned friends from abroad. The book's central message—that Africans are the solution and not the problem—will come as no surprise to conservationists, but it is a point well worth emphasizing nonetheless."
