Abstract

We report a new threat to conservation, namely land grabs by large tourism developers inside public protected areas. Locally, these tourism land grabs damage national parks through building footprints and access corridors, bringing habitat fragmentation, noise, light, roadkill, fire risk, and invasive plant and animal species and pathogens. They also create negative impacts on social equity and regional economies. The global tourism industry now perceives private development in public national parks as a mechanism to profit from land speculation, rather than merely monopoly provision of visitor services. Investment funds now use tourism, often with socialwashing components, as a political lever for land grabs. International “nature positive” marketing by tourism industry associations and multilateral tourism advocacy organisations is greenwash: it lacks substance, and aims to coopt conservation organisations.

旅游业的土地掠夺和 "绿色清洗 "对自然保护的威胁
我们报告了保护工作面临的新威胁,即大型旅游开发商在公共保护区内掠夺土地。在当地,这些旅游占地通过建筑占地和通道破坏了国家公园,带来了栖息地破碎化、噪音、光照、路杀、火灾风险以及动植物物种和病原体入侵。它们还对社会公平和地区经济造成负面影响。现在,全球旅游业将在国家公园内进行私人开发视为一种从土地投机中获利的机制,而不仅仅是垄断游客服务的提供。投资基金现在利用旅游业(通常带有社会清洗的成分)作为掠夺土地的政治杠杆。旅游行业协会和多边旅游宣传组织在国际上进行的 "自然积极 "营销是一种 "洗绿 "行为:它缺乏实质内容,旨在收买自然保护组织。

期刊介绍: Biological Conservation is an international leading journal in the discipline of conservation biology. The journal publishes articles spanning a diverse range of fields that contribute to the biological, sociological, and economic dimensions of conservation and natural resource management. The primary aim of Biological Conservation is the publication of high-quality papers that advance the science and practice of conservation, or which demonstrate the application of conservation principles for natural resource management and policy. Therefore it will be of interest to a broad international readership.
