Offers an alternative vantage point to the growing body of anthropological literature surrounding NGOs in their many forms and capacities
Sheds light on the multiplicity of actors involved in conservation efforts
Clarifies the discourse surrounding the role of NGOs in a wider global setting
This book explores how NGOs have been influential in shaping global biodiversity, conservation policy, and practice. It encapsulates a growing body of literature that has questioned the mandates, roles, and effectiveness of these organizations-and the critique of these critics. This volume seeks to nurture an open conversation about contemporary NGO practices through analysis and engagement.
