Global Thinking and Local Action : Agriculture, Tropical Forest Loss and Conservation in Southeast Nigeria, Paperback / softback Book

Global Thinking and Local Action : Agriculture, Tropical Forest Loss and Conservation in Southeast Nigeria Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Revivals series

Paperback / softback

Description

This title was first published in 2001. Based on extensive local field research undertaken in and around the Cross River National Park in Nigeria, this book provides a socio-economic study of the tensions between agriculture and nature conservation.

Taking a ’bottom-up’ approach and focussing on the farm household and the dynamics of forest farming at household level, it brings together a wealth of new information on the subject of tropical forestry, the causes and dynamics of tropical rain forest loss and the problematic relations between conservation authorities in National Parks and local people.

Its conclusions raise important questions about practical ways forward in the development of such areas.
