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.
