Description

Top scholars examine issues which lead readers to better understand environmental change in the African continent and its effects on rural African livelihoods.

Each of the studies in this book concerns four main issues: conservation, biodiversity, and environment; land use and livelihoods; environmental change; and policies for conservation and development.

The volume looks closely at the details of rural resource use, access and control, the social institutions which shape this, and the effects on African environments.

It is not possible to understand livelihoods in Africa - a central issue for all social and economic questions - without grasping the interplay between environmental change and the sustainability of rural livelihoods.

The volume is groundbreaking in its detailed examination of this interplay, and its importance in grasping the roots of poverty and potential for its alleviation, and for its unique combination of natural and social science methods.
