The Myth of Wild Africa: Conservation Without Illusion
Editorial Reviews
Robert S. O. Harding, New York Times Book Review
"A useful introduction to the complex issues that must be confronted by Africans and their concerned friends from abroad. The book's central message that Africans are the solution and not the problem (will come as no surprise to conservationists, but it is a point well worth emphasizing nonetheless."
The Economist
"The 'Myth of Wild Africa' . . . is the false notion that Africa was ever a continent untouched by the hand of man, and that its wildlife can be conserved without winning the support of its people. . . . It is a brave attempt to take sentimentality out of conservation."
