Wilderness Expansion

Focusing on the concept of bioregions, this book examines their role in nature protection and the establishment of transfrontier conservation areas across borders. It argues that these areas can enhance biodiversity protection by transcending colonial boundaries that disrupt ecosystems and communities. However, it highlights a gap in academic literature regarding the processes that define these scales and their effects on local populations in Africa. The book aims to provide valuable insights for geography and conservation students, as well as planners and decision-makers involved in conservation efforts.
