More about the book

The book addresses the conflict between scientific and indigenous conservation epistemologies in Africa, emphasizing that local knowledge could provide viable solutions to environmental issues shaped by colonial legacies. It advocates for the revival of indigenous practices, proposing that they complement Western scientific approaches rather than oppose them. This perspective aims to enhance environmental management efforts across the continent and beyond, making it a crucial read for conservationists, ecologists, and students in related fields.
