Understanding Conflicts between People and Parks at Ranomafana, Madagascar

Agriculture and Human Values, 1999, vol. 16, issue 1, 65-74

Abstract: The national park model originating in the unique circumstances of mid-19th century North America has been widely applied in the developing countries of the late 20th century, provoking numerous land-use conflicts between parks and resident peoples. Key factors in understanding these conflicts are examined using the field experience of the Ranomafana National Park in Madagascar. A conflict management strategy is suggested for alleviating such antagonism and facilitating the investigation of mutually acceptable conservation and development pathways.
