Hi,I'm a grad student studying anthropology and international development. I'm currently writing a paper about the effectiveness of protected area/national park/biosphere reserve schemes in: (1)preserving the environments they were established to; and (2)doing so without having severe adverse impacts on local populations; or (3)why they fail to do so. I am especially interested in finding materials which highlight the ultimate causes of pressures forcing local people to encroach on reserved lands (as opposed to _proximate_ causes such as population, fuelwood scarcity, etc.), or which can refute the convential wisdom that all such encroachment has an extreme and negative impact.
Stuff I have: ----Books---- Wells & Brandon, "People & Parks" West & Brechin, "Resident Peoples and Nat'l Parks" Kiss, "Living with Wildlife" Machlis & Tichnell, "State of the World's Parks" Pathak, "Contested Domains" ?, "Natural Connections" -----Articles----- "Gorillas" Natl Geogr., Oct '95 "Prospects for Coexistence: WIldlife &Local People" Nepal&Weber, AMBIO June95 "Valuing the Rainforest: The Economic value of Nontimber Forest Products in Ecuador" Grimes, Loomis, Jahnige, AMBIO Nov94 several other marginally related AMBIO articles
Any and all help appreciated! Thanks in advance, Chip _______________________________________________________________ John (Chip) Temm (202) 544-1105 Grad Student: Int'l Devel mailto:chip@vita.org George Washington Univ. mailto:chip42@gwis2.circ.gwu.edu Washington, DC mailto:chip@mail2.pechan.com
