Anyone who is engaged in conservation and development or interested in the varied tools this field uses will find the book to be of value. African scholars will find the book useful for understanding contemporary issues. The book would also be useful for classroom debate, as the studies provide sufficient context to understand the setting and delve into the issues involved'. - Colin A.
