Conservations of wildlife in Africa
Barrett, C.B. (1995). Are Integrated Conservation-Development Projects (ICDP's) Sustainable on the conservation of Large Mammals in Sub-Saharan Africa? World Development 23(7): 1073-1084.
Barrett (1995) investigated the link that exists between rural development and species conservation and established that rural development and species conservation has conceptual flaws that limit its appropriateness and sustainability when it is used to protect large African mammals. This came out in the wake of ICDPs broader appeal that it could benefit the local community.
Brockington, D. & Igoe, J. (2006). Eviction for Conservation: A Global Overview. Conservation and Society 4(3): 424-470.
Relationships between conservationists and the indigenous communities have been turbulent from time immemorial (Brockington & Igoe, 2006). This has partly been prompted by eviction of these people from protected areas. The authorities prosecuting eviction have used the moral high ground that conservation currently enjoys. They have argued that such efforts save species from extinction as well as saving the planet. Displacements have been characterized by forced removal of people and economic displacement where people are excluded from particular areas where their livelihoods are dependent on.
Garland, E. (2008). The Elephant in the Room: Confronting the Colonial Character of Wildlife Conservation in Africa. African Studies Review 51(3): 51-74.
Garland (2008) in an effort to interrogate the Colonial government's conservation efforts in Africa pointed out the existing structural inequalities that characterized African's symbolic and political economies in wildlife conservation. The colonialist wildlife conservation policies were capitalist and Africans therefore benefited little from them despite the fact that these conservancy occupied areas where the indigenous gainfully lived from.
Hackle, J.D. (2001). Community Conservation and the Future of Africa's Wildlife. Conservation Biology 13(4): 726-734.
Hackle (2001) while trying to investigate what lies ahead of Africa's wildlife with regard to community conservation underscores the integral part the local community plays in resource planning and management in community-based conservation. He is adamant that the local community must gain economically from wildlife utilization. Hackle viewed community-based conservation (CBC) as a cure exclusionary protectionist policy that excluded the local communities from conservation efforts despite the conflicts that have been witnessed in Madagascar, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, and Swaziland. The CBC is set to succeed because of its inclusive policy (Hackle, 2001).
Roe, D. & Elliot, J. (2006). Pro-poor Conservation: The Elusive win-win for Conservation and Poverty Reduction. Policy Matters 14: 53-63.
Roe & Elliot (2006) underscored the role biodiversity plays in people's livelihoods despite the fact that development agencies have downplayed its input in poverty reduction. Community-based wildlife management, pro-poor wildlife tourism, sustainable bush meat management, and pro-poor conservation have played integral role in bettering peoples lives if DfID's involvement in Namibia and Tanzania is anything to go by. In Central Africa the local community is allowed to manage their own forests and wildlife resources with a view to using the resources sustainably.…

Indigenous People Had a History
This theme is further argued in the last chapter of the book, which presents a perspective into the future, with Queen Cockacoeske as a future Pocahontas, a future representative of her tribe in the relations with the English. The question that many of the indigenous people asked themselves, and this is extremely well presented in this book, is how to make this transition better and with as many benefits for

Indigenous Peoples. Bodley Notes That These Cultures
indigenous peoples. Bodley notes that these cultures are often small scale -- although not always (e.g. Inca, Maya). Development brings them into a larger world, where they are influenced by other cultures including global culture. Many of the cultures today viewed as indigenous came into contact with larger external cultures during the past five hundred years, a period characterized by a shift towards a global-scale culture. The degree of

Bartolome De La Casas Bartolome de las Casas was a Spanish Bishop who spent a sizable portion of his adult life crusading for the rights of indigenous peoples in the Americas, who were generally treated poorly under Spanish colonial rule.
