Due to the lasting impacts of colonialism and therefore Western scientism on Africa, at the core of the conservation dilemma lies the conflict between scientific conservation epistemologies and 'local'/'indigenous' conservation epistemologies with the latter being the locals' potential workable solution to the environmental problems haunting the continent. It is in view of these circumstances that this book was born. The book is a clarion call for the revival and reinstitution of indigenous conservation and management epistemologies, not as a challenge to Western scientific conservation epistemologies, but to complement efforts by Western science in easing the tapestry of environmental problems that haunt Africa and the rest of the world. This is a valuable book for environmental conservationists, land resource managers, political/social ecologists, environmentalists, environmental anthropologists, environmental field workers and technicians, and practitioners and students of conservation sciences. 410 0$aUPCC book collections on Project MUSE. 410 0$aUPCC book collections on Project MUSE. 606 $aNature conservation$zAfrica 606 $aConservation of natural resources$zAfrica 615 0$aNature conservation 615 0$aConservation of natural resources 676 $a333.72096 700 $aMawere$b Munyaradzi$01598799 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810146403321 996 $aEnvironmental conservation through ubuntu and other emerging perspectives$94118360 997 $aUNINA
