Local Communities and Wildlife Management Reform in Tanzania
(2008) Nelson, Fred; Nshala, Rugemeleza; Rodgers, Alan
"Landscape and land-use change in the Amazon are most commonly addressed by the standard tools of land-cover change research: remote sensing, demographic methods, and political ecology approaches. These methodologies are used to construct a description of the causes and effects of landuse transitions at broad scales. In contrast, studies that incorporate a very specific, human scale individuals memories of the land have already proven useful for correcting this picture in other regions. Here I evaluate the use of oral histories with ribereno residents of the Muyuy-Panguana archipelago in the Peruvian Amazon, with the primary goal of integrating this information into ecosystem studies."
Protected Areas and the Conservation of Biodiversity in India
(2003) Rodgers, Alan
"In some ways an article that provokes or moves one to reply could be said to be doing its job in broadening or enriching a dialogue. That role becomes even more important in the case of conservation if that dialogue leads to improved conservation. The essay by Madhusudan and Shankar Raman does provoke me to reply. But, I confess that some, but certainly not all, of that provocation is frustration, as well as a desire to enter a discourse."
