“By elaborating minute arguments based on ample evidence, the mainstream concept of ‘community-based conservation’ is criticized for its ‘carrot-and-stick’ governance, caused by the lack of ‘African Potentials’ philosophical perspective, involving concepts such as ‘incompleteness’, ‘collectivity’ and ‘conviviality’. This book powerfully stimulates us to recognise our need to change our view of the world and to reconsider existing research on wildlife conservation and natural resource management, even in other regions.”
