Ecotourism and Neocolonialism: The human cost of wildlife conservation

Around the world, people, often indigenous, are becoming "conservation refugees" forced to leave their ancestral homelands for the creation of protected areas and wildlife reserves. Through this process of displacement, conservation has created racialised citizens and politicised landscapes. Guest blogger, Arzucan Askin tells us more.

Review How far are birds, bats, and terrestrial mammals …

As a result of displacement, a reduced density of wildlife near wind turbines may be observed. Knowledge of displacement can be used to estimate distance thresholds, beyond which wind power development is not expected to have remarkable biodiversity impacts. This improves the opportunities to mitigate the detrimental effects …

Displacement Effects of Conservation Grazing on Red Deer

Since the displacement effects seem to reach beyond the conservation grazing sites and affect larger areas we also expect spatial shifts in human-wildlife conflicts with forestry (Bobrowski et al. 2020), agriculture (Walter et al. 2010) or traffic (Mysterud 2004) and hunting activities might have to be adapted. All these aspects need to be ...
