Tourist Saviours --Conclusion --Notes --Bibliography --IndexIn this impressively researched, alarming book, Rosaleen Duffy investigates the world of nature conservation, arguing that the West's attitude to endangered wildlife is shallow, self-contradictory, and ultimately very damaging. Analyzing the workings of the black-market wildlife industry, Duffy points out that illegal trading is often the direct result of Western consumer desires, from coltan for cellular phones to exotic meats sold in London street markets. She looks at the role of ecotourism, showing how Western travelers contribute-often unwittingly-to the destruction of natural environments. Most strikingly, she argues that the imperatives of Western-style conservation often result in serious injustice to local people, who are branded as "problems" and subject to severe restrictions on their way of life and even extrajudicial killings.Nature conservationSocial aspectsNature conservationPolitical aspectsWild animal tradeHuman ecologyEnvironmental responsibilityNatureEffect of human beings onEndangered speciesEcotourismElectronic books.Nature conservationSocial aspects.Nature conservationPolitical aspects.Wild animal trade.Human ecology.Environmental responsibility.NatureEffect of human beings on.Endangered species.Ecotourism.333.95/416Duffy Rosaleenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut282884DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910462021203321Nature Crime2458369UNINA
