Abstract

ABSTRACT Virungas National Park, Rwanda, is a pristine wild environment abutting some of the most fertile agricultural land in Africa. Climate and altitude provide ideal conditions for many valuable crops there. In this paper, Human Wildlife Conflict (HWC) is highlighted in an excerpt from a fieldwork diary. Various elements that contribute to a wider understanding of challenges faced by various groups, including wildlife are explored through the perspective of global economic and political forces. The paper adopts an interdisciplinary approach from a perspective firmly grounded in conservation biology. It addresses a need for dialogue across fields and disciplines in order to contribute to more robust and effective strategies for both rain forest conservation and the well-being of precarious agricultural, hunter-gatherer and wildlife communities. Human agency in the face of monolithic business models, of ‘primitive’ versus ‘modern’ binaries, and the sustainability of conservation models that exclude such perspectives are outlined and explored.

公园、人类和土豆:复杂的保护文化
卢旺达维龙加斯国家公园是一片原始的野生环境,毗邻非洲最肥沃的农田。那里的气候和海拔为许多有价值的作物提供了理想的生长条件。在本文中,人类野生动物冲突(HWC)是在一个摘录的野外工作日记强调。通过全球经济和政治力量的角度探讨有助于更广泛地理解包括野生动物在内的各种群体所面临的挑战的各种因素。本文采用跨学科的方法,从保护生物学的角度出发。它解决了跨领域和跨学科对话的需要,以便为雨林保护和不稳定的农业、狩猎采集者和野生动物群体的福祉做出更有力和有效的战略贡献。人类在面对单一商业模式、“原始”与“现代”二元模式时的能动性,以及排除这些观点的保护模式的可持续性。
