 The impact of conservation and land use transitions on the livelihoods of indigenous peoples: A narrative review of the northern Thai highlandsMarco Haenssgen, Prasit Leepreecha, Mukdawan Sakboon, Ta-Wei Chu, Ivo Vlaev and Elizabeth Auclair Forest Policy and Economics, 2023, vol. 157, issue C Abstract: Ecosystem conservation has moved to the centre of global development agendas in light of an unprecedented acceleration of environmental degradation, species extinction, and catastrophic weather events. Global and national conservation policies with seemingly laudable aspirations, however, have been widely instrumentalised and distorted – leading researchers to argue that the very tools to safeguard natural spaces feed consistently into a market-oriented agricultural production and modernisation agenda. Indigenous peoples who continue to inhabit protected spaces as their ancestral lands have systematically suffered in this process. We conducted a place-based narrative literature review to formulate a consistent agenda for the next generation of conservation research and policy to help overcome this persistent challenge, drawing on the extensive and interdisciplinary research literature of the northern Thai highlands published until 2021.
