Book Chapter: Is growing Urban-Based Ecotourism Good News for the Rural Poor and Biodiversity Conversation? A Case study of Mikumi, Tanzania

Associate Professor, Stig Jensen has contributed a chapter to the recently published book: The Environmental Crunch in Africa : Growth Narratives Vs. Local Realities edited by Jon Abbink, that discusses the problems and challenges of environmental–ecological conditions in Africa, amidst the current craze of economic growth and ‘development’.

Professor Jensen’s chapter specifically aims to present and reflect upon implications of urban-based ecotourism for nature conservation and rural development, building on ongoing research and preliminary findings from Tanzania.

The book is found on Palgrave McMillan’s homepage.
