Derrière l'écotourisme, le politique: conservation et discrimination territoriale en Afrique du Sud

Sylvain Guyot

Revue Tiers Monde, 2004, vol. 45, issue 178, 341-363

Abstract: [eng] Sylvain GUYOT — The politics behind the of eco-tourism cover : Conservation and territorial segregation in South Africa As legacies of « green apartheid », natural parks in South Africa are reserved for whites and tourists. As concerns the case of St Lucia Park, the predominantly black indigenous populations therefore accumulate frustrations and have often resorted to illegal - but legitimate - practices such as deforestation and poaching. As for political and associative stakeholders, they consider eco-tourism as the miraculous solution for local development. However, other serious issues stand out, such as past legacy management, the effective participation of people, redistribution of tourist benefits, confusion in territorial management and the ambiguous motivations of environmental stakeholders.
