Opis: Forest and Labor in Madagascar - Genese Marie Sodikoff

Protecting the unique plants and animals that live on Madagascar while fuelling economic growth has been a priority for the Malagasy state, international donors, and conservation NGOs since the late 1980s. Forest and Labor in Madagascar shows how poor rural workers who must make a living from the forest balance their needs with the desire of the state to earn foreign revenue from ecotourism and forest-based enterprises. Genese Marie Sodikoff examines how the appreciation and protection of Madagascar's biodiversity depend on manual labour. She exposes the moral dilemmas workers face as both conservation representatives and peasant farmers by pointing to the hidden costs of ecological conservation. "An important and lively contribution to the study of 'green neoliberalism'. An obvious choice for undergraduate teaching on ecology, rights, international political economy, development, and a host of other topics." David Graeber, University of London "Brings a whole new angle and nuance to the crucial debates over conservation and development. Applicable not just to lush, humid eastern Madagascar, but all around the globe." Christian Kull, Monash University1. Geographies of Borrowed Time; 2.
